Awwww....sweet, sweet Daisy...beautiful, fluffy and cute!
This is the perfect picture. Daisy is out in nature and all it's beauty and serenity, just enjoying "being dog"...and being with her Soul mate.
Thanks for honoring Daisy today in this very special Gallery...a Gallery for heroes...a Gallery filled with love....and a Gallery where their lives will be celebrated forever.
Sending love to you and Biscuit...and always Daisy
Sally and My Eternal Light Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
We have been out of town and out of wifi range for the last few days. Marla, you have our heartfelt sympathy. I didn't realize until just now that Daisy had crossed the Bridge. She and Murphy will certainly have some stories to share. Thinking of you.
Kathi and the Turbotail April Angel....and the Labradork
Murphy is a five year old Lab/Chessie cross. He was hit by a car on 10/29/12 and became a Tripawd on 11/24/12. On 2/5/13, he had a total hip replacement on his remaining back leg. He has absolutely no idea that he has only three legs!
UPDATE: Murphy lived his life to the fullest, right up until an aggressive bone lesion took him across the Rainbow Bridge on April 9, 2015 and he gained his membership in the April Angels. Run free, my love. You deserve it!
