Sad news at Apache's Tribe

GRETTA GUCCI


This is a picture of Gretta with my kids. Taken at my uncle's house a few years ago.
Today we come to our blog with a very very heavy heart. Most of you are familiar with Apache's tribe.....most of you are familiar with Gretta. Gretta just had 12 beautiful puppies. After the puppies were born she became ill. Oh everything was done to save Miz Gretta....but she passed over to the Rainbow Bridge this morning. Leaving behind 12 babies, one devastated mommy, a blown away sister and a house full of sad Dales.
I know my Aunt Gretta is being greeted by my Sadie, Asta Miles, Marcie Girl and so many others that went before her in our family. But this still hurts the same. You will be missed Miz Gretta Gucci....may you rest in peace our sweet one!

We love you,

Willow, Pilar,Teak,Maiz,the Lizards and our hoomans whose eyes are leaking without stop!

Oh Willow, such sad news - we're so sorry about Gretta, such a sudden loss. Our thoughts are with you all, especially her new pups.

We looked at your pictures from the other day - they are absolutely wonderful! Teresa did a wonderful job capturing your spirit! Is she local - Mommy would love to have such beautiful pictures of me.

Mommy and I also wanted to say thank you so much for the thoughts about my Granddaddy. It' been difficult, but all the kind words have helped - thank you.

What I didn't get a chance to tell you was that Mommy and Daddy went right near your house a couple weeks ago and didn't even bring me! They went to the Renaissance Faire (the day before my Granddaddy passed away) and once they got there Mommy realized that they were right in your neck of the woods. You guys are so close - one day we should make a play date!

Love,
George and Mommy

Poor Willow and family. That must have been a shock. Maybe you will have to take care of some of those puppies.
