This picture was just too sweet not to post today. I looked over my shoulder while working in my study to see Gunnarr and Fionnegan sleeping close to each other. A lot has evolved in these past several weeks since Fionnegan died. They have become best buddies and are now never apart. Shorty even goes outside with him at night "to keep Gunnarr company". Take note, neither of them is sleeping in Fionnegan's bed. On occasion Gunnarr will roll around in it, but rarely does he sit inside of it.
The old days. Two can fit in one bed with a bit of a wiggle of the hips.
Gunnarr continues to have a really hard time and is really missing Fionnegan. But that is so very understandable as they were always together for almost 12 years. Apparently, me running with Gunnarr in the yard is not quite the same as Fionnegan chasing him.
2014. They loved to wrestle and jump on each other. Brothers to the end.
2014. Cape Ann.
2014. Post sail beverage for everyone.
We would walk until they needed to be carried. Then we would stop for a scenic break. Every Sunday we took the trip to Deer Island for a beautiful stroll.
2014. A little backyard fun.
Tuesday was Gunnarr's 12th birthday. We had a nice celebration - trying hard to keep him feeling loved and happy. We also include Shorty in the birthday treats as we do not know when he was born so it is nice to have one big party! I made them a special dinner, and they had doggy cookies and ice cream. I also sang happy birthday to them all day as I had the chances and danced with Gunnarr. I am trying hard to keep them active and happy and not too sad and grieving.

Gunnarr howling on the porch. I do believe he is calling for Fionnegan. Afterall, it is picture time!
Shorty seems sad at times and I am sure that is why he is staying so close to Gunnarr. Maybe they bring each other some comfort. They are really good companions.
Shorty and his lei.
Happy Birthday my dear boys!
Fionnegan, we all miss you very much. I think of you every day.
Until next time............................
