Anipal Photo Hunt #12: All Souls' Day

The theme for this week's Anipal Photo Hunt is "All Souls' Day" It's a time to celebrate all of those who have gone before us. I've only been with my forever and ever Mom for 11 months, but we have had two big losses since I was adopted.

Most of you know that my sister Lexi-Lou passed away just a week after I was adopted. It was a huge shock. We'd all planned on Lexi and I having lots of years together. Didn't turn out that way, though. We only had one week.

Here's my sister Lexi.


And here's a picture of Lexi and I on a walk together.


Four months after Lexi-Lou passed away, my new Grandpa got really sick. He ended up passing away, too. We were all super sad. It helps knowing that Lexi-Lou has someone special to help take care of her now, though. I bet she's getting lots of cookies.

Here's a picture of Grandpa watching my cousin Hoss and I as we chew on one of Hossy's bones.


Hossy and I napped with Grandpa later that same day (I'm beside him on the couch).


That's a whole lot of sad in just a few short months. Mom said she was blessed to have me with her then, though, 'cause I make her laugh so much.

Mom put this magnet on our car the other day:


Mom says that magnet says it all.

Here are some other anipals taking part in this week's Anipal Photo Hunt celebration of All Souls' Day:

  3. Oh, Buttons! Thank goodness for you! My mom lost her childhood cocker spaniel (my Aunt Maggie) about a month ago... Mom had me and grandma Lynda still had my Uncle Harley Pug. We can help them SO much at a time like that. Your sister was very beautiful.
