3. "Phoenix"
1995-2009
Faithful friend and
walking companion
We pounded thousands of
miles together, old girl, in
the years since you and
"Grace" showed up at our
door. You cheated death
and earned your name
many times. Now you've
earned your rest. We'll
never forget.
4. Lilli
Had to say goodbye to another old friend and
faithful walking companion yesterday, "Lilli"
(2002-2015). Sweet old lab, with a golden
temperament and a puppy's enthusiasm for
each day's journey until nearly the very end.
We knew the fatal day was coming soon, a
couple of weeks ago, when the old girl could
no longer accompany us on even our shortest
neighborhood strolls and showed little
interest in food. Like her predecessors Grace
and Phoenix, she pounded out thousands of
joyous miles over the years. Won't forget her,
either.
