Sweet Ann

 Shortly after the first of several miscarriages, in an effort to mend my broken heart, I adopted Ann. 

And in her own way, she really did help to ease my heartache.

Nine years ago, almost to the day, Ann moved into my home and into my heart :)

She's one of my best friends, that dog.

She's one of Gracie's best friends.

And one of Jonas' best friends.

Today, our best friend moved out.

Blessedly, she moved to a place she can run wild-crazy for a lifetime.

Where her hound nose can explore for ages.

Where she can rough and tumble with other four-legged friends.

Even though this isn't goodbye for ever, three hearts are braking around here.

Offer up a hug to the littles if you see them around.

And be prepared for some intense sobbing if you see me around :)
