LEROY
JANUARY 1998 - DECEMBER 2011
I will tell your Leroy's story through my eyes
Meet Leroy
I'll quote Lyndsay
"The best dog ever"
April 2004
Summerland BC
Being a water dog Leroy was one happy fellow when he got to play in the water and to have a stick was icing on the cake!
Am I handsome???
YES
I'm handsome
Here's Nana with a houseful of dogs
Seventh heaven as far as I'm concerned
2007
Bench on the hill
A dream was to come true for the O'Rourke family
Their home now sits on the hill
Leroy is right in there!
Out in the vineyard
Down to the lake we go
Looks like Alice is putting in her two cents
She is doing what pugs do best
Wo Wo Wo
You could always find Leroy out in the vineyard
when the grapes were being picked
He wanted in on all the action
One
Two
Three
A favourite place to hang out
Time for a rest
Gather all children
Gather all dogs
One in one out
Two out
Kisses
Leroy sure liked Bing
Bing being Bing would make Leroy's day!!!!!!!
Gwendolyn and Leroy checking out the day

At the end of the day
Leroy
A faithful companion
Each season when we arrived at the farm Leroy would be right there to greet us with his prancing and tail wagging
Will miss you Buddy
Oh what a beautiful dog. He reminds me of our black Lab. Sam. So docile and so loving. As my Mum aged, Sam was more protective of her. Would just follow her around with his eyes to make sure she was ok. So caring. I could take Leroy home with me.

ReplyDeleteVery sorry about Leroy, Merry Xmass and Happy New Year,your basement suite is ready with washroom.
Love Mugan and Casey
Dianne, you write with such love, warmth, and passion. I feel as though I know all your family and animal friends! Story brought tears to my eyes. See you around the park, soon, I hope.
ReplyDeleteSo sad, we lost one of our pack yesterday. I think he was the pack leader of our family of 7 dogs. In my 'winning the lottery' dream world,I would have our family all on the vinyard together and our pack would roam the grapes all together. Wouldn't graham love that? Am feeling very sad about this loss. jen
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful tribute to a gentle soul..Time will heal all.. Once again

ReplyDeleteDianne - Thank you, thank you so much. Leroy was such a special guy and to have this blog is a great tribute. In your photos, as always, you are able to catch the essesnce of a personality so well . Leroy will be greatly missed but thanks in part to you, not forgotten. There is a lot of photos here that I haven't seen. Thanks for sharing them.

Lyndsay's comment says it all. You do capture the essence of a personality, whether it is people or animals through your camera lens.
