Tommy: Today, I am writing to bid a sad but very fond farewell to my Grandmama, Katie, who travelled to the Rainbow Bridge last night. I would like to place a particular emphasis on the "fond" part because Katie had such a wonderful life. She was treasured from puppyhood to her last moments by Ms. A and Mr. R. She was strong and healthy, and produced some wonderful pups, including my Mama Minnie. She lived to the grand old age of 15 and faded away from natural causes. She had grandpups, such as me, Sophie, Elsie, and Lydia, and even great-grand pups such as Emily. She will always be remembered with great love.
Here are a few pics of her that #1 took during our visits to Normandy:
July last year
January this year:
And as a final tribute to Katie, here are a few photos of us, some of her descendants:
Her daughter, Minnie (my mama):
Granddaughters Sophie, Lydia and Elsie (my sisters)
Her great-granddaughter, Emily:
And of course, me, TOMMY!
Run Free, sweet Katie. You left your mark!
I am very sorry for your loss, she was such a lovely woofie and I know she was loved.
