Nellie 2000-2013
The house is quiet today. It is the first day in a long time that I do not have a dog by my side in the office.
These were just a few of our precious moments…
God got a good dog today. We are grateful for the time we had together.
These were some posts that featured Nellie.

Sneaking Bliss 
I saw this this morning…very sad. Nellie looked like a really good dog.

She was a wonderful part of our family, her person was our eldest son. He was up a few weeks ago and was able to spend about 10 days with her.

I’m glad he was able to spend that time with her!

My thoughts are with you tonight.

Thanks. It is hard, even when they are old. She lives on in her girl, Blitz. Nellie’s nickname (one of many) was ‘Nellie Bean,’ sometimes we call Blitz the ‘Beanling.’

So sorry for your loss! Dogs are a blessing and a member of the family!

Thanks for the thoughts. They bring so much to us, we will always remember how she was a great friend to her person. Our eldest son misses her a lot. He asked tonight if we will keep a pup from Blitz (Nellie’s daughter) so that in the future he may get one of her offspring.

Thank you for your sentiment, I agree. I am contemplating a grandpup from her via her daughter later in the year, but no one will ever be like “Boopie” as our oldest son called her. (she had a lot of nicknames)

So sorry to read this. Goldens have been a part of our life for many years. Such a beautiful breed. Joy

Indeed, we had Nellie’s mom for 16 years. Our first golden came home when our eldest was 13 months, 3 weeks before our youngest was born. We had a house full of babies. 😀

What a sad day for your family. I’m glad that Nellie got to see her boy before she left. And I bet you’ll be seeing her around for a long time to come.

I remember well how it feels when your canine friend is no longer by your side. How wonderful are your memories and that she lives on through her offspring. Virtual hugs for you.

Gosh. This is the second sweet departed puppy post I’ve chanced on this morning. Makes my heart hurt for you. And I’m remebering my own dear ones I’ve lost.
Beautiful pictures.
