“They will not go quietly,
the dogs who’ve shared our lives.
In subtle ways they let us know
their spirit still survives.
Old habits still make us think
we hear a barking at the door.
Or step back when we drop
a tasty morsel on the floor.
Our feet still go around the place
the food dish used to be,
And, sometimes, coming home at night,
we miss them terribly.
And although time may bring new friends
and a new food dish to fill,
That one place in our hearts
belongs to them…and always will.”

We said good bye to a very old dear friend yesterday.

Thanks everyone.
Mich: Cally was both sick and old. The pictures were from last year. I had wanted to take new ons this month, but couldn’t bring myself to take “final pictures” of her…
Abbie didn’t know in advance.
Was Cally sick or just old? The pictures are lovely, as usual… so much love… Were they taken just before she left? Did Abby know?
So sorry for all of you. What a beautiful gift you had.
It’s never easy to lose a family member…RIP Cally
