Christi's Creative Crew: Pup Sympathy

It's been one month without our little Katy pup

Life goes on, but her memory lingers still.

We purchased a memorial slate plaque, and the day before she passed we imprinted her paw into a mold and added some mosaic tiles to make it pretty

As soon as our grandkids heard about Katy's passing, they wanted to make us some "cards" - these are so precious and come from their hearts. They will be placed in our photo album along with all of Katy's "lasts" photos.

Katy's last walk - she only made it down two driveways and then had to be carried back

The day before she passed she made it outside to the deck and just gazed toward the neighbors backyard. Probably looking for Dexter, the black lab, who she loved to run the fence with. Joyful barking all the way!

She had visitors:

Our daughter Julie & Josh came to say goodbye

And our special neighbor, Paddy, who has puppy-sat for us multiple times, and just loves her so much. Paddy also owns one of Lucy's puppies!

My Tuesday Stampers and my downline team love on all of our dogs every time they come, but I could say "Bev's coming" and she would just wait & wait until she showed up.

This photo was taken on her last day, she was so weak and tiny, down to 5.4#

One thing that Katy loved to do (and all of our dogs) was to sit on the back of the couch and look outside.

We had her for three weeks after she was diagnosed, and cherished every single moment. We hated giving her these treatments to flush her kidneys, but we did it (plus gave her meds) until we could tell it was no longer helping and she wouldn't eat.

Katy, you will live on in our hearts forever!

Thank you, everyone, who sent cards and words of encouragement this past month
