A while back, Mom put my paw print and two of my favorite toys into a shadow box to hang on the wall. Most of my other things were passed on to Ashlynne and Beepers or given away, but a few other special things were stored away because the shadow box isn't big enough to display them all. Mom put them away, in a box in the closet Ashlynne loves to climb in . . .
just like I did.

My pretty pink heart towel from Sky and her mom was stored away in that box, but Mom wanted to display it somehow, too. Finally, it occurred to her to use it as the background for the shadow box. Now the shadow box is really pretty, too!

Here's the new "Lola" box.

Being Lola means memories in their hearts forever, though, not in a box.

What a pretty Lola box. You started Mom thinking about things that were specific to me. She couldn't really come up with one thing since there were three of us and we shared everything. I loved raw carrot shavings, but you can't quite display those. (I know, I was a bit weird--I loved their scent on my coat.)

I'm so happy your pawrents made that pretty box for you, Lola.

Headbonks...

Wowza, you've given Mawmee a great idea, Lola! She could use my towel like that too. Dang, your Mom is all organized and stuff!

Ooooh, what a beautiful memory box! Your mom is right. Sky's towel is just too pretty not to be on display. It made your shadow box even more special.

Being Lola means you're in all of our hearts too. We love you sweet girl!

Love Always,
Sally Maria

Oh, how lovely! I only ever had one toy that I liked, and I carried it around forever. Mom buried it with me. I'm sure that you, like me, are thankful for all the love.
