Sweet, Sweet Holly

Today was a very sad day. 

Today our sweet Holly went to Heaven. 

Holly originally belonged to my sister who went to Heaven seven years ago

and when she died, my mom got Holly. 

She was like a little piece of my sister that we had to hold, love and care for.

If you knew the story of how Holly was acquired by my sister you would laugh.

It involved a lot of $$$ and a discontented hubby (for a while)

but Holly was such a little doll you couldn't help but fall in love with her.

She was a Teacup Yorkie and never weighed more than 2.5 lbs.

But you could never let her size fool you because she could certainly take care of herself.

So for the past seven years, Holly has been the self appointed queen of my mom's place. 

She had free run of my mom's place and she and Dollie 

(my mom's dog) got along quite well. 

When Dollie went to Heaven a few years ago Holly mourned something awful.
Now I suppose Buttons (my mom's newest dog) will do the same. 

I know Holly was just a dog, but she was a very special part of our family.

I hope she found her way to my sister in Heaven today. 

If the Lions will lay down with the Lambs one day (as the Bible mentions)

then I see no reason why our pets won't be there, too. 

I pray so. 

Here are some pictures of Holly

My mom one Christmas with Holly and Dollie 

 This shows her size better. Btw, she got up on the back of the couch all by herself.

 She use to go camping with us

So, until we see you again Holly, enjoy Heaven. 

Tell your mommy all about your time here on Earth with us. 

We will always love you and miss you.

You were a very special little sweetheart and there will never be another you.
