Lady Bird joined our family a few months after Scott and I married. She has grown with us. She's been a house dog, an outside dog and everything in between. When we lost our first two pregnancies she was my constant friend. She slept with us for almost a year before Sam was born. She was truly a part of our family in every way. Sam loved her and now every dog is named Lady.
Lady Bird loved to fetch. She was always wanting us to throw something for her. She also loved water. I remember when she swam for first time.
One of my favorite memories is when Scott and I took Lady Bird out to camp creek. Scott had a job to do and Lady Bird and I played in the water. A huge herd of deer came running by and Lady Bird got a glazed look in her eye and took off! I thought we'd never get her back. She had so much fun that day!
I also remember our first trip to Oklahoma with Lady. We drove a two door pontiac grand am at the time and she was pretty smooshed in the back seat. We stopped about 50 times on that 5 hour trip to let her out. We also bought a new expedition on the way back from that trip so we'd all have more room!
Scott and I are now hand nursing her puppies. We are a wreck, but they are doing great.
Here are some of my favorite pictures and memories from our time with Lady Bird.

Sam and Lady Bird. He loved her so much! He would chase her tail and pull at her ears.

This is one of my favorite pictures because she was so happy that day. She had a wonderful disposition.
Sam and Lady Bird again...
This was Lady sitting patiently waiting for something to be thrown.
Lady Bird would always...ALWAYS jump up on our backdoor. This was the way she greeted people who came through the door. I remember when we had our house painted and the painters begged us to redo the door. We wouldn't because we knew she'd keep jumping up.
This was me picking Lady Bird out from her litter. She was so tiny!
Lady Bird's first day home...we bought her that stuffed duck and she loved it. She peed on everything!
Goodbye my friend. May you rest in peace.

Oh guys I am soooo sorry to hear about Lady. I remember so well when Brandi was killed a few years ago. What a shock that was - I really grieved for quite awhile. I'm sure Scott remembers helping us bury her. Lady was a beautiful dog and such a perfect family dog - I know she will missed by you all. I'm glad to hear that the puppies are doing well. Hope to talk to you soon.
I am SO SO SO sorry to hear this! We will keep you guys in our prayers. If you need any help with the pups, please let us know.
So sorry about Lady Bird. John called us after she was killed and we were so sad for you. Hope you are hanging in there while caring for the pups.
Katie
