We had to say goodbye to our sweet Walker early this morning. It's been a very hard day for all of us. He was part of our family as you will see in these pictures. We have so many wonderful memories of Walker and Maggie, too. Maggie passed away just a few months after Emma Jane was born. She was Walker's best friend. Having a pet is such a rewarding experience, but letting them go is never easy.
Paul loved taking the dogs out in the boat.
Christmas 2006
Both dogs greeted Emma Jane when we came home with her for the first time.
Walker had to get a closer look at his newest competition!
Sometimes Walker and Maggie would take turns "guarding" Emma Jane while she slept.
Rare family photo, dogs and all!
Emma Jane's first visit to Columbia.

We took Walker on MANY walks at the Riverwalk.
Walker thought the bone prop to Emma Jane's cave girl costume was the real deal!

Hugs for Walker
Always regal, he was the "king" of our household!
Giving Walker some attention...he'd gotten less and less with two kiddos in the house!
Vivi really seemed to like hanging out with our boy!
Walker liked hanging out with Vivi, too. Her toes must really taste good!
We'll miss you, Walker!
aww, I am glad you took so many good pictures of him. He was such a sweet dog.
