Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened. -Dr. Seuss
Can’t think of a more appropriate thought right now to get through such incredible sadness. Our beloved Laker Belle crossed the Rainbow Bridge yesterday morning surrounded by love and memories. From the moment she came into our lives, she has been the most incredible dog, friend, and family that we could have ever asked for. She may have loved her treats, but really all she ever wanted was lovins…and she wasn’t afraid to force your hand, nudging her head up into your arm and practically forcing you to pet her. She brought a smile and a sense of love to everyone she met, often spending days on the boat going from one charter client to another, just spreading joy. I never had to look far for her, because she never left my side. If I changed rooms, so did she. I’m going to miss my best friend, but I’m happy to know she’s no longer in pain. She joins Daisy, Kobe, Magic, and Satin, so I know she’s in great company. I love you Laker Belle, and you will forever be in my heart. Thanks for truly being man’s best friend, and certainly mine.
