That picture was only taken about a month ago, so she did age gracefully, I envied that dog. Hubby and I will be getting a boxer soon enough, i know no pet will ever replace her. I was also thinking about getting a black and white papillon in honor of Bandit. I loved the way her ears pirked up, I loved her big bushy tail, she was so pretty. I am doing better today, yesterday I just cried off and on the entire day. Today I have not cried once, she is still on my mind constantly, but I'm starting to come to terms with her passing. Every day will be better than the last. I am going to be gathering up pictures of my deceased animals soon and putting together a youtube collage of them all in rememberance.
