It is with such heartache that I share with you our little Lola has been killed. Not having a yard I always feel guilty that she doesn't have the chance to run. We went to the dog park here in Eugene. She was brutally attacked by a Mastiff. She didn't even see it coming. It wasn't fast, or clean, he didn't go for the neck, instead her belly.

There is only one savings grace, Isa was half way across the park so she could hear but not see what happened. I've given her a sanitized, watered down version. It is the first time I've ever done that with her. We grief. Everyday. Her hurt directed at me.

She wanted to get another puppy right away. There was a dog show and we found a little boy. Polo, Marco Polo. Our little explorer. She was right, he is healing our wounds.

At night I struggle with sleep, trying to keep the images from my mind. I often fail. I ask you to please not tell me how you don't like dog parks or your horrendous animal story, I've heard enough and I hurt too deeply. Instead hold us in your hearts, give a donation to your animal shelter and hug someone you love.

With Love,
Renee

I'm surrounding you...
in love and white light. I know you will come to a point of replacing those images with your favorites until you are no longer sad but joyous in your memories.

Hugs,
Sue

Lola & Polo
I'm so glad I got to meet Polo. He is a little squirt and has already done so much for you, Isa, & me! He will be a wonderful friend and a friendly reminder of dear little Lola. Love you!
