Google Misses Stella (of course we ALL do!)

I could tell Google was missing Stella so much. He was laying on her bed using Mister Duck as a chin rest.

I really couldn't believe when I saw him laying on the floor mat where Stella used to eat.

A few days ago, I put this mat next to Stella's bowls, after her feet started slipping when she ate. I couldn't believe when she laid on it after breakfast. I had to take a picture.

My Saddest Day ... Saying Goodbye to Stella

When Stella went outside this morning, she was walking very slowly.

At one point, she tipped over. I helped her up.

Google wasn't ready to brave the cold & he was worried about his sister.

When Stella came inside, she got lots of kisses.

 
I didn't know what to do. I had been dreading this day for a while. I didn't want her to suffer.

Google knew something wasn't right with his sister.

We ALL knew something wasn't right.


Google used his tripod to take a photo of Stella & me.

He's a pretty good photographer.


My last hugs & snuggles with Stella. I stayed by her side all day. She was the best part of my life for the past 15 years.

Lap of Love came over to help Stella over the rainbow bridge. First Dr Rhett made me a paw print.


Google could tell that Stella wasn't breathing & that she peacefully passed away.

I think he really understood that she was gone.

 

I LOVE you to the moon & back!!! Forever & always, my sweet baby girl!!! Rest in peace ... until we meet again.

U-turn in the Snow

When you drive past a snowwoman in a bikini ... you must make a u-turn for a selfie!

Stella & Google LOVE Snow!!!

There was about 5" of snow when we woke up.

Stella couldn't wait to go out for a hike!

Google & Mary led the way.

We stopped for lots of snow pup pix!
 
 
 

Our cabin looks great in the snow!

Find Google ...


The view from our screened in porch ...

Exhausted, dry & naked (except for for the towel).

Watching The Weather Channel blizzard report in front of the roaring fire.

Love is in the air ... I mean snow!

Pup Snow Trip to Georgia

Mary & I decided to get a cabin at Jack Hill State Park in Reidsville, GA, so we could take Stella & Google to see snow. Their first trip to see snow was a day trip to Savanna in January 2018. 

They did great trying on their snow boots!

 
Hey! Whatcha looking at???

 
We had a light dusting of snow at nightfall but the forecast was for more to come overnight.


 
We brought some cushions & a non-slip mat to help Stella jump up on the bed.
