How bout when Meg was running fast as could be trying to catch bunnies. Pie just lazed around chewing up a stuffed duck without breaking a sweat!!
And yes, that was the picture where she was sideswiping Meg trying tonpush her off!! that stood out to me as being so Pie! That face! She thinks she's being so subtle and she's so tickled with herself.!!
I have another one (of thiusands that I love)that sttod out if I can find it
My stupid taclet keeps freezing up and I cant see the cideo yet.

Oh Clare! Seeing Elsie Pie go nuts with joy in the snow...PRICELESS!! I love how she was giving Meg a piece of her mind because she couldn't get that stick!! 🙂 She really could run fast when she wanted to!
Such a happy life Clare. You have her such a happy, carefree life

She k ows that Clare. Shes knows how special she is. Goodness knows Elsie Pie and Meg had more love and atte tion a d care thsn sny gazillion dogs combined!!!
The Pie lovedps being the center of your world. She didn't just love it, she demanded it!! She would let you know what she was thinking with "the look". And you understood her many "looks" better than anyone could.
The photos above of her "making faces" with that precious mug of hers absolutely adoravle.
I knownyiu are raxked with grief right now and it hurts sooo bad to not have her by yiur side right now. I'm so glad you jave Meg to help sustain you...to help you put one foot in front of the other...a reason to get out of bed. Mornings are awful. Days are awful. Nights are awful. Staying home is awful. Leaving home is awful.
The only thi g I can offer...tweeny weenie tiny thing.....when you feel like you are going insane with hurt, get up and do something! Anything! Cut the tv in. Cut it off. Fix a sandwich even though you have no appetite znd won't eat it. Fold sheets, dust a table. Just do o e tiny thi g to get through one second at a time.
Mostt importantly, please continue to share more Pie with us as you can. We're all so thankful you jave such invaluable photo/video albums to chronicle sweet Pie's earthly journey.
If I recall, the beach videos always showed Meg going in the water, but not the Pie, right,? Pie did not like getting wet.

No thanks needed Clare, I know it took all of you to post the first post, I wanted to try to take a pinch of pain away and you not have to explain what happened. NO TROUBLE at all!!
We are relieved she left peacefully and in your arms. As gut wrenching as it is you helped her to not suffer. Like it or not we all agree there is a time to fight and a time to let go. I hope you know how freakin strong you are being on and posting!
I wanted to put the Joy of Pie and the Interrogation video on and didn’t want to overstep so I am so happy you put those in. I watched them yesterday and again today. Miss Pie will live on FUREVER thru all of us just like our warrior pups who have crossed over.
I agree with Sally one foot in front of the other and some days that wont be easy!! Meg will mourn too. You guys have to stick to your routine as best as you can for you both!
Here are my favorites of Miss Pie
Lets not forget the spaghetti contest
You are never alone and we are all mourning Miss Pie. She could NEVER be forgotten she was a tiny ball of character we all so adored! Our Miss PIe!
We are sending massive hugs and love across the miles! You will continue to be in our thoughts and we. will check in on you & Meg. Stick to routine and watch for Miss Pie I bet you see all kinds of Hares this year;)
❤️❌⭕️❤️
Oh all these glorious pictures and videos of our Elsie Pie bring a smile to my face even though I'm also streaming tears at the same time. I can't even pick a favorite......anything with the "Pie" makes me smile and laugh. It always did and it always shall. She is such a special girl and will be a piece of my heart forever! ❤️❤️ Clare sending much love to you and Meg! "Pie" I'm watching for you....I just know after you've got a handle on those new glittery wings of yours you will be paying Auntie Linda a visit....I'll be waiting........
Clare,
I may have not had the honor of meeting Elsie in person but I know the love you showed for her and it showed on your face and in your voice when you talked about her. I knew her through what you told us and all your lovely pictures and videos of her. I can't believe she is gone. I was so shocked when the girls told me on Facebook. Then I saw the post. I just wanted to not work anymore and go cry.
Thank you for sharing all these videos and pictures with us right now. I sure wish we were all with you to give you a big hug. So sending one now. My thoughts are with you & Meg. Elsie will show you signs she is ok.
Sending all my love and thoughts. We are here for you

Thank you everyone for posting and for thinking of us. It really is a comfort to know you understand and that you loved Pie too. I'm still struggling to believe she has gone. It was so, so sudden. But I know, in time... And I am just SO grateful it was peaceful.
You are the best of humanity.

All the photos, videos, memories....she was indeed very loved. I'm sorry I missed you last night in the chat, do come back.
The quietness is what got to me, that, and the absence of a routine. I was lost when I no longer had to remember to give meds on a schedule. Even the absence of stress and worry and the hyper-vigilance that was there every minute of every day was hard. Like you, I still had a dog to take care of (I feel really bad when a person loses their only pet). But like Meg, Kodi is pretty independent; he was never my shadow like Nitro was. Losing that shadow was almost my un-doing. Like I said earlier, it's never easy to lose a pet; whether it's in the blink of an eye, like Pie, or in a long, drawn-out hospice situation like with Nitro. Their time with us is never long enough.
One step at at time, one day at a time, is all we can do. Take care of yourself, sending hugs!
