goodbye our sweet girl Lu

this past week started out hard & got even harder.

thursday we said goodbye to our sweet 12 year old chocolate lab Kahlua.
we got her when she was an lazy 8 weeks old pup & she matured to be the best dog in the world. her health had been declining for years, but she was still happy & wanted to keep on trying. 
(that's my Lu!!!)
thursday...she just couldn't anymore.
we said our goodbyes in love & miss our sweet old friend Lu terribly but it brings peace knowing that she lived a good life & relief that she is no longer suffering.
we gave her the final rest the best dog in the world deserves & said goodbye to our old girl Lu in love.

...these became part of that child

the schooners, the waves, the clouds,

the flying sea crow, the fragrance

of salt marshes and mud, the horizon's edge.

these became part of that child who went forth everyday

and who now goes and will always go forth everyday.
