Celebrating my Girls

From the first introductions of Lucie and Hailey as puppies, it was pure magic.

January 3, 2009

Zoe didn't care much for Addie when she was a puppy. But with Lucie it was different. It was like she had met an old friend. We had no idea at the time that Zoe would be leaving us in two short weeks.

My girls didn't need much prompting to pose for pictures.

They were three peas in a pod. Always there to help one another.

And when Lucie became ill in October 2009, their bonds grew even closer.

Lucie had been ill for so long and beat her illness like a champ. She was so incredibly strong even with her newly identified birth defect. With Texas A&M giving strict instructions to not let her do too much and no running or the worst may happen. We turned to our tried and true Veterinarian, Dr. Johnson choosing Lucie's quality of life over quantity. We let her live her life the way she wanted. Playing and running as much as she wanted. And boy did she surprise everyone by living a healthy full life for 12 glorious years.

My girls always new when I needed them after my mom died offering more cuddles than usual.

Hailey was always protected by her big sisters on walks being in the middle. Yet Hailey was the one that barked at all dogs and people she didn't know.

My girls. My love for them is never ending. Their chemistry was magical to witness. It was a blessing having them with us for as long as we did. I am grateful for the endless number of cuddles, kisses, walks, adventures and playtimes. I have millions of pictures to remember them by which sends me back to those precious moments, feeling all of their love as if they have never left. 

My Angel on Earth...

 

is now in heaven.

Only a tiny little angel could fit in so perfectly with our big girls from day one.

Hailey was supposed to be the little lap dog that I always wanted.

Hailey chose the big girls instead and who could blame her.

My gorgeous girl brought us joy and happiness throughout her entire life.

Hailey has been the most devoted, tolerant, resilient and fun-loving pup.

She was the toughest little pup, hardly ever showing her pain.

I hope you felt all of the love that I have for you each and every day.  I loved creating fun activities for you, especially your golden eggs and our matching socks.

I had so many more fun things planned for us for when you got better. I'm so sorry that I couldn't make you better.

Thank you, Hailey for giving me all of your love and always being by my side. I love you with all of my heart. I'm so happy that you came into our lives. I have 15 years of fabulous photos to remind me of how happy you were.
