We lost our little old lady Kiko this winter. She was everything wild, a crackling sparkler. She loved sardines. I carry a bit of her fur in a locket. It’s an honor to love dogs and be with them through, and at the end, of their lives.
What a beautiful tribute to Hope. Loving and being loved by a dog is one of life’s greatest gifts. Wishing you moments of peace as you celebrate and remember Hope.
Julia and Grace, I am so very sorry for loss of your sweet baby, Hope. I always looked for photos of Hope and Winky in your books (or cameos in your live cooking classes!), and their favorite biscuit recipe is a favorite with furry friends. I lost my baby dachshund last year, just two weeks shy of his 17th birthday, and miss him everyday. Being a Mom to these loving, fun, wonderful furry people, and being with them as they cross the rainbow bridge, is such an honor. Sending hugs to you and your family, especially little Winky, and comfort in the days ahead. 🐾🐾❤️
What a beautiful tribute to your beloved pup. The goodbyes to my animals over the years have been some of the hardest moments I've faced as an adult. But what you say here sums up exactly how I've felt each time I've had to: "If our heartache is the price we pay for that privilege, so be it." The privilege of their daily blessings is immeasurable. Sending tenderness to you all as you remember your precious Hope.
The sweetest tribute to a lovely soul. The photo of the three of them by the window and then, of her from the other side. How lucky you were to have each other for the time we hold our beloved pets.
I mourn your loss and share your grief as I tearfully read Hope’s obituary. We said goodbye to our first baby, Buddy, late last year. It was one of the most difficult days I have endured but I carry his unconditional love and loyalty in my heart. I hope time brings y’all comfort and happy memories ease the pain.
The most beautiful tribute for the bestest pup! Sending you so much love.
Julia, your obituary for Hope was lovely. I have your cookbook with her cookie recipe. I'll make some for my sweet puppy today.
Thank you Hope
