Dear Claudia, thank you for the beautiful photos – I will miss her too. Love the one with Riley, I’m certain they are together again.
Will be thinking of you and Don – just hope you can be together again soon, snuggled up in the cottage on these cold days. It will be easier to have each other to hold close, speak of Scout, and share your wonderful memories of all those years together.
Be brave.
With love X
Thank you, Mary. I don’t feel very brave at the moment, but I’m trying to do my job so that I can get back home to Don.
Indeed there are no words. I think of you so very often and pray you find peace. You can see the magic that is Scout cone through your photos. What a light. What a love. What a BLESSING in your life.

((Hugs))
Thank you, Nancy.
Such beautiful photos of a beautiful girl~I adore her infectious smile and that precious black heart spot on her side:-) Continued hugs and good thoughts being sent your way~keep finding things to smile about…Scout would want that
Thank you, Jeannine. That heart, by the way, was even more lovelier than you think, as it was a beautiful auburn color.
We haven’t met but Meredith sent me over. So very sorry you’ve lost your furry family member. When we lost our Beau at age 18 the Rainbow Bridge poem helped. http://www.rainbowbridge.com/Poem.htm Remember the happy times.
Thank you, Terri. Eventually, I’ll remember the happy times. Can’t quite do that yet.
I find myself thinking of you through out the day,wondering how you’re doing. Hang in there and take it day by day.
Thank you, Kathy. I’m not doing well at all. But having to work keeps me just this side of sane.
Still crying with you, my friend. Really.
Thank you, Patricia.
Thank you Claudia for share such love in your photos of Scout today. Hugs for you and Don.
Joy
You’re welcome, Joy. Thank you.
Such sweet photos of your beautiful girl! Her personality really comes through in these photographs. I am so sorry, Claudia. Eventually, maybe you would want to frame these photos and put them on your stairwall? Wishing you peace and comfort.
Thank you, Gina.
Thinking about you and Don. Love all the pictures of Scout. xoxoxo
Thank you, Cathy.
Thanks for sharing your precious Scout with us through these beautiful pictures. Thinking of you and Don.
Thank you, Sue.
Thinking of you and Don as you navigate through this hard time. It is a miserable path you are walking, but know that so many of us (along w/ you and Don, also) have walked it previously and we do understand the depth of your grief. The pictures ~ the beautiful memories you shared ~ will always be there.
Take care of yourself. Know that we keep you in our thoughts and our prayers and that there are wishes for peace for you and for Don. ♡
Thank you, Chris.
I just wrote a long sad paragraph of condolences to you and it disappeared…..I am so very sorry about Scoutie..I haven’t written for awhile but I do stop in and check on Scout…and today, the inevitable…What can I say?? There are no words, really…I know exactly how you feel. I still tear up when I see a yellow lab even though I have had many pets since her..One thing I have always done is to get another pet right away..not as a replacement, but as an outlet for all that nurturing and love..There are many animals that could benefit from your warmth. I have a dog now that will probably outlive me and a 15 year old Maine Coon cat that I wouldn’t give up if my life depended on it…I have to have a furry friend..So before I am blinded by more tears, I know how hard this loss is…they are the best !!
It won’t be time for another dog for a long while, Missy. Thank you.
I never met Scout in person, yet she has lived in my heart through her photos and your words about her. She was an exceptional girl and it is so obvious that she bloomed and thrived via the love you shared with her. I feel so very sad for you and Don. Beloved pets never leave our memory and they stay in our hearts forever.
Susan and Bentley
She was the rarest of the rare, Susan. She was extraordinary. Thank you.
Thinking of all three of you, Claudia, and wishing you peace and serenity. You really captured your girl’s spirit in those photographs.
She glows, inside and out.
Yes, she does. She was magical.
Claudia, Scout was truly a gift of sweetness and love wrappped in fur. You are both in my thoughts and prayers.
Kim
Thank you, Kim.
Claudia, thank you for opening your heart to us through Scout’s photos. These pictures speak volumes about the love shared by all of you. I truly believe that our “fur children” are God’s greatest gift of unconditional love. Be gentle with yourself and allow all of the feelings to come. Just be.
Know that we are all here to comfort and support you. I’m sending hugs and love to you and Don. xoxo
Thank you so much, Denise.
Pictures of our loved ones are such a blessing when they are with us no more. Thinking of you both and praying for your comfort.
Thank you, Ann.
Beautiful Dame Scout…the pics are all that is needed, no words required.
Thinking of you and understanding!
Thank you, Donna.
Claudia and Don, I am so sorry for your loss. What a beautiful girl. The picture of Scout and Riley is one of my favorite photos ever. Please know that I am grieving along with you. The loss of our babies is like none other. You will continue to be in my prayers.
Thank you, Charlene.
Beautiful Dame Scout. Sending love and hugs.
Thank you, Tracy.
What a beautiful tribute. It’s easy to see why you fell in love with her. Bless you and Don during your time of grief.
Thank you, Kim.
Beautiful memories. Scout was a real beauty.
Take care.
Thank you, Addie.
The pictures are lovely. In the second photo it looks like Scout has a large heart on her side!
She did, Jacki. The auburn spot on her side was in the shape of a heart.
Beautiful photos of Wonderful memories! Thank you for sharing.
(((((((((HUGS)))))))))
Diane
Thank you, Diane.
Claudia, I love the second photo where Dame Scout’s spot looks like a heart. Such a precious princess. My heart aches for you and Don.
It was a naturally heart-shaped spot, Dianne.
I am sooo sorry that you and Don have had to say “good-bye” to your beloved SCOUT. I know that both of you are feeling full of sorrow right now Claudia, and I feel your pain; I really do. Just cry until you can’t cry anymore.
and I shall cry with you.
Thank you, Elizabeth.
So much love flowing from photographer to photo subject and vice versa. So much happiness you gave each other. Scout will always be your treasure. Give in to the tears, Claudia. They allow the hard sharp edges of grief to mellow over time. Gentle hugs….
Thank you, Wendy.
Thanks for sharing the beautiful pictures. They speak more than a thousand words. Scout will be missed by all of us. My thoughts and prayers continue to be with you and Don.
Thank you, Dottie.
Wonderful pictures of Scoutie. What a face – no kidding. That one of her looking out the window actually made me laugh. I know you’ve said she was not always the willingest of subjects for your camera and I wondered if maybe she was making a statement that day. ? Anyway. I hope you’re able to have a lot of photos around you now, because they’re bound to make you smile, even now, like they always have. It’s smiling through tears now, but that won’t always be the case. Of course, you’ll always miss her terribly, but the “painless” smiles will return. Hope it’s soon, my friend… ?
No, she wasn’t making a statement. She loved to jump up on that sofa and look outside. She did the same thing when she jumped up on the loveseat. I don’t think it will be soon, Janet. It’s going to take a long while.
Such a beautiful girl, we will all miss her. Hugs to you both.
Thank you, Angela.
She had a wonderful life with you and Don….Hugs
Thank you, Nancy.
We are all right there with you in spirit,you hold on,girlfriend, We ALL got your Back!!
Thank you, Judy.
Claudia, Beautiful photos, no words necessary! we heard your heart! Priceless memories….. I keep you in my thoughts daily.
Debbi
Thank you, Debbi.
I’m sorry Claudia. This is so tough. You are blessed with some beautiful photos and memories. Take care.
Thank you, Lynne.
That’s fine. I’ll be here. The pictures are wonderful.
Thank you, Tana.
Oh, Claudia, these photos make me want to reach out and just HUG Scout! She’s so cute and smile-y. Thank God for these animals that give us so much for so little in return. I love each and every one, and only wish I could have more. You know you are in such good company here among animal lovers. I know just how you feel, trying to get through the day without crying. How lucky you were to have such a doggie as Scout.
We were very lucky indeed, Dana. She blessed us continually. Thank you.
Lots of lovely memories! You are in my thoughts.
Thank you, Jan.
So sorry for your loss. This type of pain is so hard; they are truly part of the family.

Dear Claudia and Don,
There are no words. “Sorry” is totally inadequate, but please know that I am sorry to hear that you lost Scout. Take some comfort in the fact that she was well loved all her days with you. I wish you peace.
Thank you, Melissa.
Beautiful snow princess. Scout.
If I’ve thought of you once, I’ve thought of you 20 times, Claudia. You and Don are on my mind.
I wish you peace in your hearts.
Thank you, Vicki.

Beautiful pictures for you to cherish of your dear girl. Thinking of you.
Thank you, Mamey.
Sending a huge hug to you and Don. When I had to take the decision for Patch, it was the hardest yet best decision I have ever had to make. It was my last act of showing her how much I loved her and didn’t want her to suffer anymore.
Scout was loved and she loved you right back.x
Thank you, Sally.
She was a beautiful girl who gave so much love and had such a wonderful life. hugs and blessings, Tammy
Thank you, Tammy.
Thank you for loving Scout so much that people you don’t even know are in tears at your loss. That’s about all a dog – or any of us – could ask for.
Thank you, Jenny.
Sending you hugs and wishing you peace. Scout was a treasure and you will cherish the memories that you made with her.
Thank you, Mary.
Claudia,
I love the picture of Scout “pouncing” and all of the others as well. You can just look at her face and tell how bright she was. Beautiful, beautiful girl!
