Sweet Stoli

Yesterday our little Stoli died. My heart is so heavy with sadness that I can't even express it in words. I feel like part of my life is missing. She was so fun and fiesty that the house is eerily quiet today. Rose and I are just waiting for her to come ripping around the corner ready to play. I miss her terribly.

I miss her taunting Rose to play, greeting me at the bottom of the steps when I came down in the morning, laying by my feet on the couch in the evening, waiting patiently for the last bite of food and her whiskers tickling my face when she gave kisses.

She was not in our lives long enough. If you have a pet, hug them today because you never know when you are going to come home and not have them there. If only I could turn the clock back to yesterday morning.

She was so loving and gentle with Duke.
She always knew what was going on, even when she was asleep.

Best buddies. Poor Rose sniffed every spot that Stoli usually hangs out in today. She scoured the house for her.

She loved the snow!

We miss you so much stoli guacemole.

Oh Jen I am SO sorry and sad for you guys. This sounds silly but your dogs are truly a part of our family (Peacock, Young, & Austin). The boys are always talking about Bubba, Rose, & Stoli. Poor Zachary he has no pets or siblings so he thinks your dogs are his pets too. Was Stoli sick? Do you know what happened? I just feel so bad. Hang in there. Losing a pet is horrible. I still cry when I think about my favorite cat, Lovable. We're thinking of you guys!
