Sweet Tulip

Here's an array of photos from her active life!  Just past midnight last night Toby and I had to have her put down--she was not well.  At 16 years old (plus a few months) she was still still a fabulously elegant dog and wonderfully loyal friend. 

Lots of photos--I'm not exactly sure where or when each was taken, but here, hiking in New Mexico where David lived for a while.

Being silly on the beach in Oregon (or maybe this is California).

 

An early shot--on a hike with Rachel.

Taking an early morning beach walk in Barrington.

Frisking in the snow in Chocorua.

Chasing away the bear (this was only a few years ago)!

In the montains.

Then,, of course, Tulip with her toys.

Trying to get the frisbee away from me--this is at David's, near Silver City, New Mexico.

The herder in her--looking for her flock in Chocorua.

Tulip enjoyed her comforts--

sharing a nap with David in New Mexico,

finding a small space between Sam and Toby in Barrington,

climbing up on my chair while I painted in my studio.

She's a part of the wedding portrait on Rachel and David's actual wedding day in Chocorua in 2006.

She wove herself into all our lives and our adventures and was just starting on the next generation--Gwen and Simon, Maddie and Max.  We all loved her so, sweet, sweet dog.
