Memorial for Fionna [View all]

Some of you may remember the post I made about losing our Fionna back in December. My grief was deep, and still is, but it is getting better little by little. We were finally able to have a family memorial for her yesterday, and this is part of that.

Some of you asked me to post pictures, so I will do that, too. I hope they aren't too big, but I'm too tired to make them smaller tonight and I need to do this now. She deserves to be big anyway!

Memorial for Fionna

We have lost our beloved Fionna. She was the love of our lives, a one of a kind girl. She was not like most other dogs. She was a sable and white Border Collie, and they are just different. Not only was she beautiful, she was incredibly smart, and funny, and innovative on her own. She had a huge vocabulary and understood every word we said to her. We could speak to her like we would to a young child, and she knew what we meant. She had a sense of humor. She liked to play what she saw as jokes on us, or sometimes she would playfully hide things from us. We could tell she thought it was funny from her big smile and laughing eyes. She could run like the wind and loved doing so. She devised her own games with balls or other toys, and came up with her own "agility courses" at the dog park. We had almost 15 wonderful years with her. I miss her more than I can adequately express. We all do. She will forever be my sweet baby girl, my "little red dog." We are blessed to have known her and loved her as a part of our family. Be at peace, sweet girl, and run free.
