We do not forget the ones we have lost.
Kathy and I invite you to rest your heart and mind on iPup Ava, and to remember there is never enough time with those we love.
Ever.
Don’t waste one second.
Kathy shares: “It was a year of travel and Ava loved road trips. We spent our time between Wickenburg, Kansas City and San Diego, traveling back and forth many times. We spent Thanksgiving in San Diego and Christmas in Kansas City.
This meant a lot of time with grand kids and cats, her two favorite things. She never forgot her love of cats taught to her early by a very capable “puppy nanny.”
She was invited to a swimming party, but did an about turn, refusing to go anywhere near. She definitely did not inherit the water gene, refusing to even step in a puddle.
She was healthy, active and happy. On January 22nd, she eagerly took me for a walk. Every walk began with excitement, grabbing the leash in her mouth and pulling me along for the first 100 feet or so, as though she thought I might not get going quite fast enough.
On January 23, Ava died in my arms suddenly with no warning. We miss her every day. We thank Mary-Ann for choosing this puppy for us and entrusting us with her life. She earned many performance titles through the years, but her biggest accomplishment was her care and love for us.
She was my heart dog, my constant companion, my support. I will never stop loving or missing her.
We wish the ipups and their people a wonderful birthday, and we hope for many more. Love each one of them just a little more for us. They are a very precious gift.”
Indeed they are. We remember Ava — and Kidd, Scarlett, Nikko, and George.
Always.
