Little Lolly was 3 months old in this photo
LOL… I had no idea what LOL meant. I had just started Deb McGuire Pet Photographer, Inc. My website was brand new. Social Networking… what the heck? I had no idea what LOL meant. Then, I met Lolly.
Lolly was my first contest winner. Lolly was my first puppy, and not only did she make me laugh out loud, she made me smile. Lolly left a piece of herself in my heart… a big piece. I put Lolly on my business cards. I put Lolly on book marks. I enlarged Lolly’s photo and put her on display in my booth. I truly fell in love with Lolly.
I am frowning when I should be smiling; I am crying when I should be laughing. That big piece in my heart is broken. Lolly is gone. She was just three years old.
Gone Too Soon
Songwriters: Larry Grossman and Alan Kohan
Like a comet
Blazing ‘cross the evening sky
Gone too soonLike a rainbow
Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone too soonShiny and sparkly
And splendidly bright
Here one day
Gone one nightLike the loss of sunlight
On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soonLike a castle
Built upon a sandy beach
Gone too soonLike a perfect flower
That is just beyond your reach
Gone too soonBorn to amuse, to inspire, to delight
Here one day
Gone one nightLike a sunset
Dying with the rising of the moon
Gone too soon
Gone too soon

Emotional wreckage… That piece of my heart that Lolly owned… that huge piece of my heart.. hurts so much.
In honor of my little three year-old’s mother who signed off with a slightly modified version, I sign this BOL… Bark Out Loud.
