We have them for only so long…not forever as we would wish. I keep reminding myself of this as my twelve year old yellow lab becomes more and more aged….

My heart goes out you and your family. Losing a furry is super hard. My little fellow went to heaven a few years ago and sometimes I still come home expecting him to do his little welcome home dance for me. It is wonderful that you have the lovely memories of Nellie in photographs and your heart. God bless
