Today our very good girl Lola went to doggie Heaven. She was 14 years old. She led a good life, full of doing almost whatever she wanted, outsmarting anyone and everyone, bossing her human parents and doggie siblings around, being the family alarm clock, and always, always, being the most beautiful girl. She went by many nicknames – Boo, Boo-Boo, Boogey, Boogey Sunshine, Boo Berry, Boo Berry Biscuit, Boogey Roo-Roo, Lulu, Lo-Lo, and many, many others, but her full name, Lola Maui Myrick, was only used on occasions when she’d show a little too much independence. She was our pick of the litter at Golden Creek Kennels, mostly because of her mischief and spunk, things she kept until almost the very end. She was treated medically for her entire life by the amazing staff at Poplar Animal Hospital. There is not a finer group of people in the world. They always go above and beyond, and they played a huge part in her long, 14 year life.

Aside from spending time with her human grandparents, there was very little that satisfied her like being in the breeze on the grass in the sun. That was her happy place, and that is where she died. We will never stop missing her. All dogs go to Heaven.
