Love This – Winnie
.
I’ve said it before and, sadly, I know I’ll say it many more times…along with the joy of making friends with the pups & kitties of Blogville comes the broken-heartedness when they leave us. Today is one of those days, as our sweet friend, Winnie, has gone to the Bridge.
Winnie and her mom, the LOTH (Lady of the House) co-authored Winnie’s Dog Blog.
I could speak volumes about Winnie’s gentle spirit, her sense of humor, her love for her family, but I for one will always remember Winnie as the best hole digger in the entire world. Period.

You just have to appreciate a master at work, and when she was done…Winnie would often do a victory lap.
I know Winnie is romping, running and excavating heaven. Run free and dig deep, my friend.
If you would like to offer words of condolence to Winnie’s family, please visit Winnie’s blog.

Left us too soon – December 18, 2012
Dogs have a way of finding the people who need them, filling an emptiness we don’t even know we have.

We were so stunned and saddened to hear the news today. We all adored her and she reminded me so much of Bunny. It’s a heavy heart day today!
A beautiful tribute to a beautiful girl.

What a beautiful post to beautiful Winnie.
The quote is so true.
We were very sad to hear about Winnie going to the bridge.
That is a lovely tribute to her Lori.

I’ve said goodbye to so many dogs this year. Sometimes, the ones in the dogblog park seem more real than the ones I know in “the real world”. Hugs x
It’s extra sad when it happens so suddenly like that. Will miss following her antics.
Winnie is missed by so many.
We were so sad to hear about Winnie. 🙁
That was a very beautiful tribute to Winnie. Mom said since she started to blog this year we now have a much bigger family then we ever had, and with that comes lots of laughs, happiness and at times like this a deep sadness. We are still very blessed.

So true, Stella Rose, so true.
That’s how I remember her too….the greatest digger ever. If anyone uses Facebook, some of her friends have organised a Moon Howl to help Winnie on her way to the Bridge. It runs until midnight GMT 20 December. Please join us if you can. http://www.facebook.com/events/119458711553349/ Deccy x
Oh goodness, today is a hard day. My heart goes out to Winnie’s family and another dear blogville friend, Frugal Dougal, made his way OTRB today also. Plus, it’s the 5 year anniversary of us saying goodbye to one of our own, Reznor. Lots of hugs to go around today.
What a sweet gently face Winnie had…I’m sure she is running free and leaping far now
Lovely tribute to Winnie and lots of healing hugs to you and Winnie’s owner ~

Lori that quote is beautiful! Winnie is going to be missed by so many people the world over.
love and hugs sue and the Taylor pack xxx
Thank you for this beautiful tribute Lori.
I am printing off a copy and saving it in a special memory box I’ve started today for Winnie.
I found a big book that looks like a book and its title is “The Sweetest Story Ever Told – Volume 1”. That seemed appropriate, because although Winnie is completely unique and irreplacable her greatest legacy would be for us to open our hearts and home to another retired and rescued ex-racer.
It will happen one day – but not just yet.
Thank you all for your kindness. xx
Winnie was such a special girl. She will be deeply missed.
