We lost our dear Maria just over a month ago now. She was my companion through thick and thin, always at my feet.
We adopted her ten years ago this week, from a Golden Retriever Rescue. She was a troubled young puppy, who had gotten in a fight with another dog, and had already had two surgeries. We loved her from the first moment. And here she was, playing with me in the fields.
She lived an amazing life, in the US and in Europe, in 10 homes, but always at our feet.
Take good care of each other, and of your pets! Please tell me about your animals in the comments.
We are alive!
