RAOUL - Jan. 30, 2000 - Jun. 22, 2016

We said goodbye to our sweet little Raoul yesterday.  He was the best dog I could ever ask for or want.  There is a huge gaping whole in my heart right now but I know, in time, it will heal and will only be filled with all the great times we shared.  Raoul enjoyed traveling to 9 countries and lived 16.5 years.

My last morning with my boy.

Rest easy my sweet boy!  I will always love you.

Beauty Sleep

 Now that I'm 16, I really enjoy my long naps. 

Life Changes!

I've moved back to the States!  We are all now living in Atlanta, GA.  It's been so nice to be back in America.  This is me in the fall in Hilton Head enjoying life on the beach.  Sorry for the long break from posting.  Happy Holidays!

Camping out!

My little brother and I are getting along well these days.  I've co-opted his tent as a new sleeping spot.  It's so cozy and den like! 

Birthday nap!

No birthday would be complete without a huge nap!!!

Photoshoot for the Holiday Card

Conrad is thinking Raoul would look better without the silly hat.  Raoul's not too sure about being so close to the little man.

In the end, Raoul was out of there and Conrad was so proud he got the hat off. 

This was the money shot for us!  Raoul was bribed with a chewy and Conrad was just being his usual happy self!  Happy Holidaze Everyone!!!!!!!

Changing landscape of my house

 

 The toys are multiplying around here!  Strangely though, they aren't exactly tailored to my dog needs.  Humph. 

The little bro is turning one this weekend.  Hard to believe.  He's just figured out how I love to eat and has been obliging me on the food front!  Wohoo!!  All my hard work has finally started to pay off!!

Holidaze!!!

Ankara Holiday

The rents took off to Geneva without me!!  I, however, had a lovely time at chez Eileen with my neighbor Pepper and my Ankara girlfriend, Rosey!  Eileen catered to my every whim and even made me my favorite snack, brussel sprouts!  

 

The little Bro hung out with my good buddy Louis.

Here's Louis and Toko in Park Bastion.  Guess I'll have to wait for the next trip to see all my friends. 

Apparently, everyone was asking where I was so the rents MUST bring me next time.  Boreal Cafe now has 2 locations so I need to do a tasting of their dog treats to make sure it meets my high standards.  The little Bro thought Boreal was pretty great as well!

Spring

Walks!!  Check!

and time with my bro. Check!

By the way, I'm really lovin' my bro's boppy!!
