2006-2018
daughter #1 brought aoife into our family in april of 2006, when she was just 2 months old. she was so tiny, she fit in hubby's hands! it's hard to believe she was ever smaller than bailey.
a month later, her ears stood up and they were huge!
she was such a cutie.
kibbles, my heart dog, was still with us, and let's just say, she tolerated little aoife's puppy antics. poor kibbles was so patient with baby aoife. they shared 4 years together.
aoife was the coolest and she totally rocked her shades.
2010
she was just as comfortable with mud on her face...
2013
as she was all glammed up.
2013
she loved going out on new adventures. as long as she didn't encounter any people ... or dogs. she wasn't very social. BOL
2013
she loved to hunt lizards. no matter where they were, she'd always find them.
2014
she was a beautiful ring bearer when her mommy (daughter #1) got married.
2015
but most importantly, she knew how to have fun and not take herself too seriously.
2017
when kibbles crossed the bridge in january of 2010, aoife was here for me. then bailey came into our family in november 2010, and she and aoife became fast friends. she was bailey's best gurl. they went rock climbing...
2013
they'd go shopping...
2013
they had pajama parties...
2014
they were the best gal pals.
2015
we are all going to miss aoife something fierce. she was a part of our family for almost 12 years. she was woven into the fabric of our lives. and now there's just a hole. a big, ugly hole.
nobody is ever prepared to lose a fur baby but when it is just hurled at you, out of the blue, it's just so unfair.
run free sweet girl ... i love you.
until we meet again my friends-
Such a heartbreaking shock. I'm so sorry. ♥♥♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteI will include Aoife in the January edition of 'Our Rainbow Friends'....
Hugs
I am so sorry for your loss. It's never easy, especially if it is sudden. Losing a fur baby absolutely leaves a huge hole in your heart. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts. I understand because my baby girl died suddenly last August.
ReplyDeleteI had a bad feeling when I read the post headline. I am so very sorry to read about dear Aoife's sudden loss. She seemed like such a neat girl, I am glad I got to know her through your posts and photos.I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh my gosh, I am just stunned and heartbroken for you. I lost my 15 1/2 yr old on December 2nd (not unexpected just because of her age, yet shocking because she was in great health and perfectly fine until the very last heartbreaking minutes), so I know what you are feeling. Aoife was a darling dog, and your daughter, you, and all of your family have my very deepest sympathies :(
ReplyDeleteoh noes! OMD, I can't believes it. I am so very sorry. I miss Aoife alreadys. What a sweetie, and I knows she helped Bailey lots when she was recovering. Sendin' lots of loves and {{hugs}}} and slobbery kisses ♥
ReplyDeleteKisses,
