In Memory of Sweet Honey

Today the world lost a beautiful, spirited happy go lucky dog, and Heaven gained an angel. We had to put our sweet Honey to rest today as she was in a state of decline and it was the right, humane thing to do. Somehow that doesn't make it any easier. Honey was with us for almost 11 years and to say she will be missed is the understatement of the century.

We'll always have such fond memories of her swimming in our pool,eating Kitty's food, bolting out the front door each & every time it was open, and watching Jake & his friends chase after her like wild men! She had a weird but adorable habit of chasing shadows and would do it all day if you let her, and she could jump half-way up a 10 foot tree to try & catch a squirrel or a bird.

She was a friend to the kids and watched them grow up and leave the nest. She was the best companion for her little sister Coco and she even always made sure Kitty was included.

We all go through difficult times in our lives, and I can honestly say that Honey got me through some not so happy times. She always made me feel better and would have me smiling in no time! I feel privelaged and blessed to have been her Mom for a short while and hope that she'll make another lucky family happy in her next life.

Poet John Galsworthy once wrote "Not the least hard thing to bear when they go from us, these quiet friends, is that they carry away with them so many of our lives."

Rest in Peace Honey Marie Langerud. You were loved. Until we meet again.
