Starting 2022 With Heavy Hearts


 1-5-22 

All at "Golden Embers on the Pond" have Heavy Hearts at the Loss of our Sweet Sweet girl Willow who would have celebrated her 12th birthday on the 28th ... more photos of her Life's Adventures to follow as difficult emotion allow πŸ’”

A Very Special Girl  πŸ’š

Sadly Shimmer (Lyric's mom) is not pregnant. But good news is a "Catch" puppy born a few hours after Lyric left us, named Willow, is the newest member of the Golden Embers family.

Mom's Very Special girl  πŸ’•


Willow used her last moments of energy to say
Good-Bye to her Beloved pond and then
she Crossed the Rainbow Bridge  πŸ’

The Cabin just isn't the same without Willow and the night is dead quiet without her many "Night Noises"  πŸ’”

Willow loved the Ocean  πŸ’–

Her Mentor πŸ’•


Played Agility with Enthusiasm πŸ’– 

Willow was born during a Nor'easter blizzard on the very day that we drove emergently to the Reproductive Center in Stow Vermont and unexpectedly lost our dear Lyric (5 days after much anticipated puppies with surgical insemination complications) - on our teary way home, we stopped at our SunKissed family home for Comfort - the snow stopped for moments, the clouds parted to reveal a Brilliant Full Moon, thus Willow's registered AKC name "SunKissed Catch a Glimpse of the Full Moon" - another Special πŸ’– connection with this Special girl!

Temps up & down, snow has fallen twice and since melted, pond has frozen over, but rain melted it and it's refreezing, the Cub Cadet tractor has gone to the shop to remove mower deck and put on snowblower, weights, chains and cab in preparation!
