15, and in dog years 105. Still not long enough for me... selfishly I wish we had more time, maybe even forever. But she deserves to run free with no pain, to breathe with ease, to see and hear like she was a young pup...⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I know we get these creatures as a gift from God. Lola was more than a gift, she was my first girl fur baby and more importantly my best good girl. She loved me and trusted me as much as I did her. There will never ever be a dog like her, this I know is certain. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Only a person who has lost a companion that is so close to their heart would understand how and why I am absolutely heartbroken by her passing. There is an emptiness and guilt that is indescribable. ⁣I don’t know if ever losing a dog will be less gut wrenching, and I often tell myself that having a dog is not worth the pain of losing them. But then I remember all the joy she has brought to me and my family. She was an absolute gem, how lucky we were to have her for the time we did. In honesty, we didn’t deserve her. She was so smart, so kind and loving, so loyal and at times mischievous, which I welcomed. ⁣ ⁣⁣ My Lola girl, over the rainbow bridge you go, you will be so dearly missed and you will always, always have the first place in my heart.
