April 8, 2007-Oct 27, 2012As I sit here typing this my heart is breaking in two...
I remember the day Rod, Fiona & I drove for two days straight to Ontario to pick you up at 7 months old. We did not know anything about your first 7 months and that did not matter. I remember the moment I meet you it was like we were never strangers as you laid by my feet and looked at me with love in your eyes. When it was time to leave for the two day drive back and to meet Fiona who was waiting in the van. You hopped into the van and looked at her as to say hi buddy what you doing and I'm ready to go. We always joked around after that at how you picked us to be your family and thank you for doing so. You have taught us lots on how to be good doggy parents, help raise lab babies as well as your own and helped make some great friends along the way. I remember having you entered for your first show without even having any classes behind you and you walked away that weekend with your first points at 7 months old. How you would always walk into the ring with that kiss my ass attitude which some loved and some hated you for, I loved it. You got your Canadian championship by 13 months, were a Canadian top dog, group 4, multiply best puppy in group, multiply best of breed and a CGN title holder. You loved your snow, camping trips, van rides and cuddles on the bed. You always greeted people and dogs as if they were your friends even if they were not. I know I will never have another one like you as there is no doubt in my mind you were a gem and one very special girl that I had the honour of having in my life. The day you went to live with your new family was a new adventure but it was like you knew you had a job to help them with. We loved going to have coffee & bones with you it was as if you had grown up and had moved into your own place. I remember watching them pull up in front of the house and you would hop out and run up the walk like I'm home for a visit. The weekends you would come home were filled with fun ones, photos in the backyard, birthday parties and good old visits. You also had your own little girl who called you hers right from the moment Courtney seen you. You and her rocked the junior ring when you played. One of the proudest moments for Courtney was when you two got a 4th spot out of 14 other juniors. Her heart is also breaking as you were her angel. When she came home from school or being out it was never hi Mom it was where is my Londy and you would come running. I know you have not been here for a long time but you have packed so many great memorisers, lessons and love into that time you will never be forgotten. I know Fiona is calling you to come and play with her on the other side of the bridge. So you go to her and give her a kiss from all of us over here. I promise you as well we will be together again someday. Sleep tight my little London lu.... This is your song baby girl. http://youtu.be/3qFIaI1M5kU |

time to play and be the social butterfly with all the new friends she meets there.
