Rest in peace our sweet Holly pup. November 30, 2008-September 30, 2024.
Holly was the most amazing and charismatic dog! Everyone who met her loved her. She could be a major snuggle pup, happily snoozing on your legs on the couch–but if you wanted to be active, she’d gladly run 5km with you and then come home to play fetch. Over the course of her 15 years and 10 months on earth, she ate more strange things than any dog I’ve ever known. Some highlights include at least 2 dozen pairs of my shoes, half a CD, a leather glove, a bag of dark chocolate Easter eggs, a bag of candy canes, a bowl of gummy frogs, and many many dandelions.
She loved to bark at anyone but always wagged her tail to tell them know she just wanted to play. She thought every visitor to the house was here to play fetch with her. Right up to her final days, she was still trying to play ball.
She loved to roll around in the grass on a sunny day, and to play in the snow, but often refused to go out in the rain. She was the strongest at tug of war with a rope, and would never let go even if you picked her off the ground holding the toy.
Our kids adored her and she loved them and was a great comfort to them. I don’t know what we will do without her.
Holly
