Puppy Love

Our dear friends suffered the loss of their dog, Jake, this past fall. It was a quite sudden downturn from a diagnosis of cancer. They took it really hard, and I felt such pain for them. Last month, they purchased Cooper, a fun loving yellow lab. I finally got to meet him this weekend. I can sense their hearts are not feeling such sorrow. They are still mourning the loss of Jake, but Cooper has added some bounce in their step. I was so happy to finally meet Cooper and to see this family start to heal.

  1. So, so hard to lose a four legged family member, but there's nothing like a lab puppy to bring new joy!

  3. Ah, yes! A puppy can occupy and lighten your hearts in no time! We got our yellow lab while our old golden retriever was still alive, but aging. Before the pup was a year, our old friend had to be put down. It was a hard thing, but the puppy made sure we realized our attention was needed elsewhere!
