The Last Wag

Here is a place between the river and the woods that peace calls home.
In Loving Memory ~ Gracie Porter
  Dear friends,
Quietly on a Sunday morning in May, we had to say good-bye to our beloved Lab, Gracie. Within the arms of her family, she peacefully passed away with her dignity and grace.
She will always be remembered & forever missed.
Gracie became a member of our family ten years ago when we moved to Kentucky. She brought great joy and a wag of her tail to everyone she met. She also became the subject of quite a few blog posts here at TLPC. Before I knew it, she became a socially connected blog dog, started her very own Facebook page and named it The Gracie Porter Collection.
Her bio begins with ~ “Come, sit, and speak. I want to know what makes you wag your tail!”
Well, they came and brought their smart & stylish owners too! It’s been so much fun dear friends but I must tell you that this blogger has about lost her “bark.”
So before I say “The End” over at The Gracie Porter Collection, I want to thank you for joining us and allowing me the privilege of introducing my best friend to your best friend. You are all just wonderful and your dogs are the luckiest in the whole wide world!

  1. Ahh Lisa,

    Miss Erma and I got teary reading this and remembering our visit with Miss Gracie. She had so many great blog dog friends and she most certainly was a girl of grace and love. We know your heart and home feel empty without her but we know too she is prancing around heaven with all those that went before her. I sent a prayer to the Lord asking Him to introduce Gracie and our beloved Kenai who went ahead of Gracie 5 years.

    Much love to you and All the Porter's at PorterRanch!

  4. You have me in tears Lisa. I'm not ready to say farewell to Gracie so I cannot imagine how you and the whole family must feel? We are all so blessed with our wonderful furry friends in our lives. Just like I would my children, I tell Buffy how much I love her every darn day. She brings me a laugh, and a calmness when some times nothing can in this crazy world. Oh lisa, I wish I could pop in for a tall glass of iced tea and a long chat. You could share stories of Gracie and I would love hearing them. I just want you to know how special I think you are and thank you for writing this post. Gracie was truly a fortunate dog to be so loved.
