#780 – RIP Champion Willow Creena – August 3, 2019

This is a very different post than the one I had planned to write.    Willow passed away last evening at the age of 14 1/2.  It would have been Paul’s dad’s 99th birthday.  Paul figures that Bumpa will keep a good eye on her.

A dog is more than just a part of your family; they hold such a big piece of your heart.  Today I will just share some of my favorite pictures of Willow and favorite memories.  She was beautiful inside and out.

She always loved the outdoors; just sitting and being.

She also loved her family.  Her smile says it all!

She loved her toys; especially if you would throw them and she got to chase them.

That face and those beautiful brown eyes.

We loved celebrating her birthday every year.

It is always amazing how animals find that one spot of sunshine in the room.

Willow loved to sleep in.

She loved her walks.

She loved to chew her bones and wonder how the trash ended up like that. 🙂

You could never be too rich, too thin or have too many bones.

Helping prep for card classes was exhausting work.

Oops…now this is why we can’t have nice things. 🙂

I always loved this picture of her waking up in the morning.

Resting after a haircut.  She needed a sweater to keep warm.

She wasn’t happy when we put a temporary barrier up to keep her from going in the basement.

She loved corn on the cob (with supervision of course)

Snowface!  Willow did not like to be hot!  Her favorite season was winter!
She loved running in the snow.

Hmmm…I wonder how these got here???

She accepted Panda into the family, and later Orion.

Celebrate every moment and every milestone.

She enjoyed life to the fullest!  That is the biggest Willow takeaway.  Love, be loved and enjoy!

RIP Willow Creena!  You will forever live in our hearts!!!
