It is with a heavy heart that I type this post.

This is Anaya, Kayla’s 18th birthday gift, the sweetest pup ever, and so loved by us all.

This is my favorite photo of her, looking up at Kayla, from our days back on the farm.

We had to say goodbye to Anaya hours after our granddaughter Aspen was born.

There were SO many tears – sorrow amidst all of the joy.

We already miss Anaya so much.

It is hard to drive up to David and Kayla’s farm and not have her running down the driveway to greet us as we arrive.

I know that time helps heal….and we are counting on that.

We miss you Nay Nay.
