Endings and Beginnings

Yesterday, I had to say goodbye to one of my oldest friends, Angelique.


Angelique was the old family dog, and after two years of illness she finally told us it was her time to go. We picked up Angelique at a shelter back in 1998 and were told by the vet that the puppy was too unhealthy and wouldn't live for very long. He advised my mother to just go adopt a different dog to save ourselves the heartache and medical expense. Well, 15 years later Angelique was still with us and suffered minor health issues until about two years ago when old age finally caught up with her. She was a good dog, strong-willed and stubborn like an ox. Angelique will definitely be missed greatly.

  


On a more positive note, a couple of weeks ago we added a new sweetheart into our family:

This is Lady

We found Lady at a nearby shelter and fell in love at first sight! She is super sweet and gentle (and incredibly demanding of belly rubs). Although she's only been with us a few weeks I cannot imagine life without her! She comes with me wherever I can bring her and she appreciates it because she hates having to be alone.

She also hates thunder

But she loves being toweled off!
