In Loving Memory of Marley

Marley was the sweetest soul companion to her dad and the rest of her family for 11 wonderful years, before leaving this world and heading into The Beyond.
Part horse, and part dog, with gorgeous long legs, Marley found her way through the world galloping joyfully whenever possible. She had a mind of her own, but you always knew what she was feeling by gauging the wiggle of her nub.When her dad was around, it was always wiggling.
No matter how much we spent on the most comfortable dog beds, Marley knew that the best way to sleep was hallway off the bed. She possessed a special talent for poking, prodding and punching pillows into formation, until they created the perfect nest, upon which she could awkwardly perch, just as she liked.
A true family dog, Marley wanted to be in the middle of everything, attached especially to her dad at all times. A stronger case of FOMO never existed. Cooking in the kitchen required acceptance of the little face that gently pushed between you and the counter. Giving a hug to a family member was impossible without becoming a group hug with Marley.
She had a big, deep voice, but the softest, gentlest touch of any dog ever. She knew her place—at her dad’s side—and she insisted on being there whenever possible. She gave more love than anyone thought possible, and made all of our lives richer and more precious with her presence and now, her memory.
We will love and miss you always, Marley.

Thanks for the services you provide. I am glad to donate even a little bit in Marley's name, and hope it will help other dogs like her, who have complex health issues and whose pet parents are wrestling with financial, logistical and deeply emotional challenges with their beloved furry family members.
