Lori, Peter, and Hannah...I'm so sorry for the loss of your sweet baby Lazy. I know you all made his life happy and full of love, as he did yours. That's what matters. He'll be waiting for you at the Bridge with sloppy kisses and ready to play.

Oh Lori it is heartbreaking to lose our faithful companions who've given us so much and ask for so little in return! Blessed you are to have been a "keeper" of such a sweet soul as Lazy. Sending hugs, prayers and more hugs for your family.

So sorry Lori, Peter and Hannah...hugs to you all. What beautiful pictures and what a heartfelt post.

debbie haggard said...

Lorie and Peter: so very sorry for your loss. There is very little that can compare to the vulnerability, dependency, and trust that our pets bestow on us. And when they leave us the loss is sharp and piercing. What a good dog Lazy has been- it was an honour to have known him, if only thru your blog.

Vicki Jo said...

What a beautiful eulogy for your precious friend. I know what it means to lose a beloved dog. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Jennifer said...

Oh how terribly sad. But a life well-lived. Like you, I know our animals friends wait for us to join them someday.......

Jimmie said...

Oh Lori,

My heart is aching for you and your family, including the non-human ones. It's just so hard to give up your pets even though they are in a better place. Wish I could give you a hug right now.

So sorry that you have lost your sweet Lazy. Thinking of you and your family.

C Reeder PhxAz said...

I think our fur babies have met one another and are having discussions about their "crazy stitcher moms" and totally adorable Dads. All our fur babies are there to welcome yours. We are all here to hold you in our thoughts and prayers as you go through this. As we have lost ours we always take time to thank God for connecting their paths to ours so we could all be so blessed to have one another. sending you lots of hugs.

Barb said...

What a beautiful tribute to a wonderful friend. I am very sorry for your loss.

kathiquilts said...

Our sweet furbabies means so much to us and do so much for us; it's no wonder we grieve so when they leave us. Lazy has taken a part of your hearts with him, but leaves a part of his with you always. He waits patiently for you.

We lost our Golden girl last November, two months after her cancer diagnosis. I had a long time to say good-bye, that helped. Now our border Collie is 15 and I'm thankful for everyday. I've seen your animal friends so many times in posts that I feel I am grieving for Lazy and Buddy too. Thank you for sharing them.

Marilee said...

Your tribute to dear Lazy was so touching. I lost my dear fuzzy boy a little over a year ago and the only consolation is that I know he is with those who went before him and that he and the others will be waiting for me. Thank you for the loving reminder.

Jeannine520 said...

I'm so sorry Lori. The world always seems so much less sweet when our gentle friends pass.
