Mid-January 2022 - Moving On!

We're Feeling the Emptiness of Days and Nights without Willow, but we're determined to make the Adventures as Normal as possible, as Willow is with Us in Spirit and Always Will Be as we move on - feels very strange to only have 2 girls in a photo 💝

Mya & Emma Having a Great Day 💖

Fun in the Sun - Heatwave at 24 degrees from
-4 degrees overnight 💛

"Hey Mom, are You Coming?"

Movin' On Out! 😎

"Catch Me if You Can!" 😍

Then There's Nap Time Zzzz!

Mya (L) has hated crates since puppyhood, so now at
9yrs she's practicing "crating" at Agility class with Emma!
(Beautiful handmade crate blanket gift from classmate Judith Nuno)

Then they got to work - Running thru Tunnels!

Jumping Following the Numbers!

Dogwalk (up ramp & down ramp)!

A-Frame & Tunnels!

We're Healing 💕

HAPPY 12th BIRTHDAY WILLOW

We Miss You! 💔

Getting Ready for the Nor'easter ⛅

Ending January with a New England Blizzard - we were spared as some areas got 30"!

Ha Ha - Drifting is deceiving ... Wait for It!
...this is what it really looks like!

Done - now to Play!

"We said Play"

Beautiful Sunrise After the Blizzard 😎

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 💔

A Very Special Girl 💚

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.

Baby Willow

The Happy Golden Girls
Emma, Mya, Willow

Willow Loved her weekly Hospice work visits 💓

Mom's Very Special girl 💕

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

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

Sutter teaching Willow how Agility is done!

Willow loved the Ocean 💖

Her Mentor 💕

Played Agility with Enthusiasm 💖

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 💖 connection with this Special girl!

FAVORITE THINGS

December Ho Ho Ho!

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!
