Marley

Today, we had to say goodbye to Marley.

She was my baby before I had children. She was so much more than just a pet. I would often joke that she was human reincarnated in a dog's body. She would sigh at you if you fussed at her, and if you really made her mad, she would turn her back to you and ignore you to let you know she wasn't happy with you. She was sweet and spunky. She never met an animal or a person she didn't like! She was very protective of me, and she loved her sisters, especially Camille.

I'll miss her barks right as I got home from work everyday letting me know she missed me and she was ready to come inside. She was such a GOOD dog, very disciplined and listened well. I don't think it was something that she learned through training, it was just who she was. She felt safe and loved by us, but we felt the same from her. She added much more to our family than she'll ever know.

It won't be the same without her, and it will take us a while, as a family, to get into a new routine.

Until we meet again, sweet girl...rest easy. You are loved.
