Today we lost our beautiful female Tyra. It has been a very hard day. ;(

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn’s rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die…

RIP beautiful girl you will never be forgotten.

hi martin & kinga! just checking in for our almost 7 month update! we can’t believe how the time has flown by since we got tilly just before christmas. looking back, joe and i can’t imagine our lives without tilly! she will be 7 months old on may 30th and is about 65 lbs. tilly graduated from puppy obedience classes in february and graduated from intermediate classes this past sunday. joe and i are having our engagement pictures taken next week and tilly will be included in some of them.. how could she not be? we’re a family now- with our first child that just happens to be a furry one! everywhere we go we get compliments of how gorgeous tilly is and how pretty her all white coat is. most of all, we get compliments about how well behaved she is. very early on we began socializing her with our nieces and nephews (ages 8, 2, 1 1/2 and newborn). it’s amazing how she knows when to slow down and be more gentle around the little ones. the gentle leader head collar has been a dream come true for us.. we walk just about every day and are looking forward to getting tilly to a nearby creek very soon. tilly is incredibly curious, but does not overreact to things like birds, dogs barking as we walk by and kids playing. tilly is the most beautiful (of course i’m a little biased) and intelligent little lady around and we are so blessed to have found steel city, john and lynda and tilly lou! here are some recent pics.. THANK YOU!

love,
lauren, joe & tilly
