Our Parker Is Gone

[baymule]

Our oldest grand daughter cried when her mother told her about Parker. She said she never wanted another dog. Our Daughter had profound words of wisdom, she told her, Parker came from a shelter. Those dogs in the shelters need us as much as we need them. Parker had a good life, much better than being euthanized as a puppy.

She is so right.

It's amazing how these critters sneak into our hearts.

Baymule, I'm fighting the tears here myself! What a wonderful dog he was and so young. I'm so sorry you lost him. R.I.P. sweetheart and thank you for the love you brought in your short time on earth.

Bay, thank you for sharing his story and those wonderful pics

Finally moving day came on February 14, 2015--our 19th anniversary. We rented a U-Haul and got some help to pack it up. Our son is a crane operator and his job had just ended. He came to help and drive the U-Haul. Parker was confused, watching men take stuff out of our house and pack it up. Our son opened the truck door for something and Parker jumped in. He wouldn't get out, he didn't know what was going on, but wherever our stuff was going, he was going too! Eleven days later, at our new place, it snowed. The dogs had a blast.

Parked loved the farm life. He did everything we did. He followed the tractor, he helped with the fence, supervising to make sure we did it right. Here he is with Trip, helping us build the Hawg Hut. 10-28-2015

The day we closed on our old house 2-11-2015, and sold it, we hurried to the hospital 2 1/2 hours away. We got there 45 minutes before grand daughter #2 was born.

11-21-2015 Parker is on the job, watching over the baby. He loved her so much and always kept a close eye on her.

He played King of the Mountain with the girls.

On 9-1-2017 we received the gift of grand daughter #3. She crawled straight to Parker. He was delighted. I love this picture of him giving her a gentle lick on her forehead.

GD#3 loved Parker and made a beeline for him every time she came over. 7-27-2018

When the little girls were outside. Parker was right with them, watching over them. 10-5-2017
