I can't even put into words how heartbroken we are. We suddenly and very unexpectedly lost our sweet Winnie girl Friday night. In the matter of a few moments we went from having one of our best summer days outside with Breck and Winnie splashing around and playing as they have so often this summer to rushing Winnie to the hospital. After emergency surgery, we expected a full recovery but she just never woke up. We are all struggling to make sense of this sudden loss. It is so sad in our home right now because her presence and life's energy infused our home, our lives with so much love that we feel so drained without her here. The saddest thing is thinking about how much Winnie loved our little boy and what a great friend she had become to him. You can see from the pictures how inseparable the two were from the very beginning. I am so sad to see him crawling around saying dog over and over again and not finding his best friend. We miss you so much sweet girl!
This was our first family picture together. She was so small!Here are the girls together in the nursery just waiting for her best friend to arrive!
Even when B was tiny, she would watch over him.Winnie and Tigger enjoyed Breck's early days when he liked to nap as much as they did!
Winnie shared many of Breck's firsts with him. Breck is sitting up for the first time and Winnie is right in the spotlight. As Breck discovered the fun of his splash pool, Winnie discovered a new place to splash around and enjoy water.

Even riding around the house with Mickey mouse, Winnie was sure to be close by.
Breck and Winnie shared a love of the back yard too. He especially liked to watch her chase after tennis balls. Often they would have a competition to see who could reach the ball the fastest. I think Winnie taught Breck the art of crawling fast!
This was taken Friday morning in their last few moments together. Wherever Breck was, you could be sure to find Winnie right in the middle of it. The back yard will never be the same without her splashing right along with us.












I am sorry for your lost. All my love. A
