I wanted to use an edited image of this picture for an upcoming blog post. I let AI edit it for me. It's Arwen and me, in September 2021, in the woods together. I am on crutches as I had a new hip replacement earlier that month. Arwen really helped me through the hard time, together with my mum. Heck, how I missed her during my recovery after my last surgeries...
Even though Koa is coming home in 16 days, I still miss Arwen every day... 🥲

Boy blue, the one that demanded a lot of attention from me, both yesterday and last week, is sleeping on the Dachshund toy that I brought for the pups. Maybe he really likes my smell? I know he is one of my favorites for sure... (heck an edited picture of him has been my lock screen image for a week now 🥰).
But I don't want to get my hopes up, as he may not be my best match, when Joke does the testing next week... One more week and then we'll learn the pups names/color combinations.... So excited! And a bit anxious... 😬

Just like last week, mister dark-blue was trying to steal all my snuggles. This time, he had some more competition, as mister white paw was doing his best to get my attention as well.

Picture was taken by my mum.

Yesterday it was puppy time again!!! 🥰 I enjoyed all the cuddles, little barks, and well, their little teeth... 😉
This is one of the snaps that I took, while I was in the pen with the pups.

An image generated by AI, where it took an original picture of Arwen, and it created a painting style background for it, and made Arwen in the same style.
I edited a purple version of one of Arwen's pawprints, taken of her before she was cremated, into the image. And I added a border to the image as well.
So while this image is partially made with AI, it's also really Arwen and her pawprint.
She's been gone for 270 days now 😢. And, in 18 days, Koa will be coming home... 🤎
She was the best companion that I've ever had the honor of sharing part of my journey with. 🐾 🌈

5 years ago today, Arwen and I walked to some stores at the other side of town with a friend of ours. While we waited for her, we took this selfie together...
I still miss this gall... She was so amazing...
I'll be visiting the puppies later today. That always fills my heart with so much love again. 🤎

Arwen, 6 years ago, yesterday (29/03/2020).
She got a big dental snack, in the form of a toothbrush. She had had dental snacks before, but not like this one. So she was carefully examining it, before devouring it. 😇
Heck, this was such a special gall... 🥲 I've been blessed to have known her for almost 12 years. 🐾 🌈

Sleepy times. 🥰

The dark-blue boy is giving a big yawn, showing off some of his sharp little puppy teeth.

3 years ago...
I was giving Arwen scratches, and she positioned herself on my hand, so I could/would not stop giving her all the cuddles and scratches...
Ow how I miss this gall... 😢
In three weeks... I'll be picking up Koa later today... How time can go by so slow and so fast at times...
