I’ve been thinking about this incredible dog a lot today.
She would’ve been 7 years old on Friday, the 26th.
I spent Friday morning stressed and nervous; I was forgetting something.
Late afternoon things calmed down and the day was really turning around. It was becoming a really great day after all.
Then I remembered what I had forgotten: Ella’s birthday.
The funny thing (but not “ha ha” funny, strange funny) is, as I remembered what day it was, my mood only improved. It brought a smile to my face. I didn’t expect that. I thought I would cry, I didn’t.
I miss her. I really miss her. But her birthday, her first birthday since her passing, did not darken what was turning out to be a great day, it only made it better. I don’t know why. I can’t explain it. I guess I just… felt, somehow, closer to her in a way.
Today, however, I’ve been battling the waterworks as I look through her pictures. I miss this bossy, noisy, sweet, weird, funny, overly affectionate, gorgeous mutt.
These pictures are just precious!
We just past the birthday of our Farley, after being gone a year too. I understand what you are saying and feeling about your unforgettable friend…
Beautiful photos and sweet memories of lovely Ella. I know that Lassie and Petal surrounded you with love.
We know the feeling. Sherman’s barkday passed the middle of this month.

She was a gorgeous. I am very sorry. Beautiful photos and memories you have.
Sweet remembrance. The first year without a loved one — human or canine — is always the hardest. These darned dogs leave us too soon!
Gorgeous dog. So sorry for your loss.
