Today I’m sharing something very close to my heart.
Guinness was more than our family dog. For 15½ years, he was my constant companion, my gentle shadow, and a big part of the life we built here.
He spent countless days enjoying the quiet, the gardens, the sunshine, and the peacefulness of this little corner of the world. He welcomed guests with his calm presence and was always happiest simply being near the people he loved.
I recently came across these words, “I Loved You Best,” they capture so much of what it feels like to say goodbye to a beloved dog.
Although Guinness is no longer here beside me, I know his pawprints are woven into this place forever. ❤️🐾
So today, I’m sharing this in his memory, for anyone who has ever loved a dog deeply enough to know that they never truly leave us.
They simply change landscapes.
❤️ Guinness
