Update on Brooklyn

[Nicole Laskin]

A few months ago I posted about bringing home our new family member Brooklyn! I received such heartfelt responses and kind words it felt wonderful! It's been a while since I posted and I just wanted to give everyone an update! Brooklyn looked like this when I first posted:

She has brought such joy into our lives! She's so kind and so sweet, I haven't even heard her growl unless she's playing with one of her toys! Her bark is deep and can be startling for her size and her personality! 

Here is Brooklyn growing like a weed!

3 weeks ago, only 2 months after we brought Brooklyn home,  My senior dog, Oreo, got Ill very suddenly and passed away 6 days after I brought him to the vet to find out what was wrong.  

It was a painful experience, where I'm plagued with a  mixture of sadness and guilt.  We thank God that we had Brooklyn to help ease our pain.  From experience, walking into an empty home after losing a pet is much more difficult.   She was meant to be here. 

As the days go on, time is helping us heal.  And so is this mush of absolute joy and love!  I have never encountered a dog quite like Brooklyn: She just loves to love! We joke "What's Brooklyns favorite thing? To love!" "What's Brooklyn's least favorite thing? When she can't love something!"

So sorry for the loss of dear Oreo.  Brooklyn is cuteness times 10!

Brooklyn is way TOO cute!  I'm really sorry to hear about Oreo.  It's too bad they didn't have more time together.

What a beautiful happy looking girl you have there!  So sorry to hear about your Oreo.

She is absolutely adorable! I, too, have a senior dog and not a day goes by that I don't think about how I will deal with that void. It sounds like Brooklyn came to you in perfect timing to provide you with comfort and to help mend hearts. What a touching story!
