Ava

As dog lovers say, she crossed the rainbow bridge yesterday.  She was friends with our Paddie and only 7 years old.  In the spring she had been diagnosed with a particularly aggressive form of mammory cancer.  Part border collie, part shepherd, she was one smart dog and sooooo funny and entertaining.  She had a whole repatoire of tricks that she loved to do.  We shall miss her terribly and send love and hugs to our dear friends, Lori, Scott, and Justin.

Fun Pet Photos!

Anne over at Bunny Hill is having a great pet photo contest!  I've been enjoying checking out the photos, some really great photos (and ideas)!

We've been looking at some photos of our life with Paddie.  We could take her anywhere.  She had quite a few dog-friends through her life and in 2007, she went on vacation with one of them.  Ava is the baby of our dear friends Lori and Scott.  Lori and I would always be calling each other about what our babies were doing and now we call each other (and send each other a lot of cards) checking on each other because both dogs have cancer.  At least I can say that I have had nearly 13 wonderful years with Paddie; Ava is only 7 and it just seems so unfair.
