Marlowe’s last day

I took this the day before cancer took our sweet Bassett mix from us. He loved that strawberry patch!

He died just two days before our second child was born. I genuinely think he was hanging on to try and meet her. He would have loved her.

Sleep has been extra hard lately with the new baby and I miss my midnight cuddle buddy. Any time he could see me getting frustrated or upset he’d come to comfort me. He diffused a lot of fights like that.

It’s unfair he didn’t get to grow old. It’s unfair my children won’t remember him.

I hope the time that you got with us made you happy my sweet MarshMarlowe.

Having a 16 month old basset is like having a smart naughty 3 year old human

This boy is a sucker for cream, whipping cream specifically and I still have some leftover from thanksgiving so I put a little in my coffee.

He knocked over a box of cornbread and started scooting it around the floor so I would go check on him, and when I did he ran around me and lapped up some of my coffee triumphantly.

Too smart for his own good or mine!
