Saying Goodbye

Gemma was just the cutest pup in the world. 

 She loved adventure -- a good run, a lot of sniffing. 

She was always up for a trip to the dog park.

     

She loved having friends over

And of course she loved a good game of "lick the kid"

 

She made us laugh.

 

She wasn't afraid to be silly, and she loved a good party.

 

 But she had her quiet, dignified moments too.

 

 She was a sweet, constant, loving companion.

It's so hard to let a beloved companion go. 

But it was time, and it's what we have to do when we take on the responsibility 

of having animals in our lives.

But all that love?  It's still here.
