Gracie

We lost our Gracie today.  She was 2 weeks shy of her 16th birthday, an amazing age for a labrador.
Love you girl.

  7. Oh, I'm so sorry, Chania :-( Almost 16 is an amazing age for a Lab, and I'm sure you both enjoyed every one of those years that you were together. Our dogs are such big parts of our lives and our hearts.

  18. What a beautiful dog!! So sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my German Shepherd/Husky when she was 14 years old back in 1987 and I still miss her.
    It is so sad to lose part of the family.
    So sorry!

  20. I popped over here because I saw your thumbnail for your post on someones blog and I wanted to see what the post had to say about the beautiful dog I saw....being a DAWG lover. Oh my, I am so sorry for your precious doggy having to leave you. What a huge part of our lives they become.
    Please know I am feeling a sadness for you in my heart tonight. Such a lovely creature she was, and what a long and blessed life she had I am sure.
    We believe the quote that... dogs are not our whole lives, but they do make our lives whole! From a dog-loving household....our sympathies.
    I see your other sweet Mooch over on the left. A hug for you tonight from one of your blog sisters who knows....

  27. So sorry to hear of your loss. Nothing is so sad as losing a beloved pet and cherished family member. I have a 15-year old cat and I know every day I have with her now is a gift that I must cherish. I know her day of passing will all too soon come. I share your grief and sadness.

  39. We lost Tique about a year ago and it was tough. Still is. But after almost 16 years I'm sure you have so many memories to hold on to.

  40. With tears, dear Chania, I wish you peace and comfort as you grieve for your beautiful Gracie. (She looks so much like my Murphy, who we lost in 1997). Our pets work their way into our hearts, and there is such a void when they leave us. Know that we all know how you feel. Run free, darling Gracie ... your mommy love you.

    Gracie was so very LUCKY to have had you as her carer....Her LONGEVITY alone is proof of the WONDERFUL role you played in her life....!!
