Loca, Three Years At The Bridge


robinw

Recommended Posts

It's hard to believe that my crazy Loca has been gone for three years. What a silly, crazy dog! My house still hasn't recovered :eek

 

I miss her every single day. She was one of a kind. I like to think that she is hanging out with Phene and fellow June 1 bridge angel, Walter, kicking up a storm the way only she could.

Ahhhh Loca....look at that happy, smiling girl. Yep, she was one of a kind. Can't believe it's been three years. A hug to you, Robin - I hope you are home soon and can enjoy some of the healing love from Treasure and Iker!

My boys, together again...

Three years already? I'll bet she's keeping everything and everyone at The Bridge in an uproar! She was most definitely one of a kind. :grouphug :grouphug :grouphug to you, Robin.

The photo was taken by GT's KelseysLackey. It's my very favourite picture of her.

Oh man, there are so many stories! She earned her name by standing mpon my dining room table her first day home.mthere was the time she disciplined a young puppy and it took four of us to pry her mouth open...at a meet and greet at Petcetera. She opened a mason jar of soup. She opened my closet and dresser drawers and pulled out all of my clothes. I had to have her tied to my waist for a month and a half to get her to stop trying to eat my cat; she was supposed to be cat safe! At Dewey one year she broke into a roommate's suitcase and stole dog dog treat. She used to steal toys from little kids. She used to jump up and steal toys from shoppers at Dewey. At MacShea's in Dewey Brach, she decided she wanted to sit with Amanda instead of me. She climbed on the. Table to change sides. She was a wild woman, and she was an 8. 5 year old brood mama when I adopted hr!

 

Despite everything, she was so sweet and loving. Every time a dog got injured in play group or was picked on, she would stay by it's side. She took care of me when I was sick. She never met a stranger.

 

Loca was one of a kind. Thanks you so much for your comforting words, all. I miss her like crazy.

Such an itty bitty little package so jamed full of life and energy and zest and love! She always was taking care of other pups at play group - when she wasn't busy wacking the guys with her muzzle! Only dog play group that required the guys to wear 'protective gear'!!!

 

One of kind gal...

My boys, together again...

Hard to believe it's been 3 years already. I think because she was such a huge personality and a GT favourite keeps her stories circulating, in turn it feels like she's still here. Loca stories always make me smile!

Hugs to you. Three years, and I know you still feel her loss every day in many big and small ways. The anniversaries can sure be hard. May happy memories of your beautiful Loca comfort you through the pain of her loss.

Is it June already? I can't believe it's been three years since Loca and Rusty have left us. Most of you don't know, but my Rusty and Robin's Loca are half sibs. Loca was born a few days before Rusty and also passed a few days before him. I'm sure they hanging out and enjoying each others company.
