Goodbye, Best Friend

 

I lost my best friend on March 30th, this past Tuesday. She was fourteen years old and literally saved my life on more than one occasion. Her friendship was invaluable. Her soul changed my life forever. I love her so much and already miss her. 

Today, I created art that represented who she was. Wise, non-harming, intelligent, loving, devoted, and so much more. 

Thank you, Lilly, for being an amazing friend and honoring me with your love and kindness.

  1. I am sorry for your loss - we lost our furbay BeeJay (rescued Greyhound) on New Year's Day this year - he would have turned 13 last week and he was a loved member of our family for over 9 years. xoxo

He chanted that phrase repeatedly to the media and anyone who would listen. Harry was beloved by not only his friends and family, but by the entire Pacific Northwest. Before his death, he was already a celebrity and caused a media flurry. He attracted the attention of National Geographic, United Press International, and The Today Show. He appeared on the front pages of The San Francisco Examiner and The New York Times. Many other major magazines did profiles on him such as Newsweek, Life, Time, Field & Stream and Reader’s Digest.
