I had to say goodbye to Pauli on Tuesday, October 2, 2012. It was one of the toughest days of my life and my life will never be the same without her in it.
I met Pauli the day she was born, she was only a couple of hours old, and I loved her from that moment on. I brought her home when she was six weeks old and she stole my heart, she stole everyone's heart she met.
One of my favorite pictures of us - this was taken at one of her first Earthdog tests - something she loved probably more than anything.
A day at the beach...Pauli was about 2 years old in this pic and wanting me to throw the frisbee!
A couple of my favorite agility pics with Pauli...
Screaming at the start line...
She was so much fun to run and finished every run jumping up into my arms...this is one of her last agility runs...she was almost 12 years old...Steeplechase round 2 at a local USDAA trial - she won...she won lots and lots of blue ribbons during her agility career.
These pics were taken at the last Earthdog test we did in Ocala this past March...she couldn't wait to get out of the van...she knew exactly where we were and what we were going to do...
The last trip Pauli went on with me was to South Carolina in April...we got to go to the beach and of course, she got to sit on everyone's lap at the trial site...one of her other very favorite things in life...always wanting to be sitting on someone's lap
The Journey
thank you Becky for sharing that with me...

Rest in Peace my Sweet Little White Angel
What a lovely tribute to your amazing friend. I am so sorry for your loss, but you were so fortunate to have had one another. Hugs to you and your other pups.
ReplyDeleteWell written Laurie. I loved it all and almost felt like I had met her and knew her from your words. Yes you were both fortunate to have one another. She lived a good life!
ReplyDelete:'( I didn't know she passed away, I'm so sorry, little white terriers are the very best.
