Gracie

Guest Blogger: Emily Peterson

Due to complications with a back injury, Gracie passed away a few days after Christmas. Perhaps I am biased, but in my opinion Gracie was the sweetest dog in the world. She had an adventurous spirit and a kind soul.


We adopted Gracie when she was just a tiny baby. The vet asked us if we wanted to keep her even though she had an overbite. Who could get rid of that adorable face?!


Gracie was part of the original pack back in Texas


In The Woodlands, Gracie enjoyed trick-or-treating, going on walks, and even going to church with us once in a while.

However, Gracie discovered her true passions when she moved to the farm in Illinois.

Paddleboarding

Much like her grandpa, Gracie LOVED to fish.




When we brought home Frankie as a puppy, Gracie immediately bonded with him and welcomed him to the pack (others… such as Mabel… were not so pleased with him at first). Gracie loved him so much she wanted to be his mother. 


Gracie was equal part farm dog and lap dog. Her ultimate passion in life was to snuggle with people. If a lap was available, she wanted to sit in it.

I don’t think anyone had a bad word to say about Gracie. Mom even gave her special treatment and let her into the living room on her fancy couch! She was a sweetheart who will always be missed.

We love you Gracie.

Oh that's so sad. She had the sweetest expression in her eyes. This is a lovely tribute.
