Remembering Pugnacious P! (part 3)

Besides being blessed enough to give Payton the best care possible, I am so thankful that we really took advantage of opportunities to have fun with her.  Some of my favorite memories we shared together were during trips to Chicago.


In the photo(s) above, Payton is posing in front of the Water Tower just off Michigan Ave all bundled in her Pug Snuggly coat, matching Chilly Beanie, and MY matching scarf.  I couldn't decide on which effect I liked best so I included them all!

One of our first happy memories in Chicago, and probably a favorite of my husband's, is when we took her to a dog park for the first time.

I think one of our best vacations in Chicago was a blast, and my parents got to join us too making it even more special.  In fact, it was so eventful that there are two posts.

Something else that is very special to me is baking Christmas cookies with my mom.  It was so much fun to share this experience with Payton, and as you can imagine, she enjoyed it too!

It was such a pleasure to share my life with one of the most beautiful spirits I've ever met.

Love,

  4. Payton was such a good traveler! Scarlet's very good when we go to the Cape. She seems to know where she's allowed to go in and where she isn't. Well, Daddy helps with that - he prefers NOT to shop, so they hang out outside and she gets oodles of attention.

    Thanks for sharing her adventures with us, we just love seeing them again :)

  6. We love all these photos of Angel Payton. We remember she loved to travel and eat- and pose for photos. What good memories to keep in your heart forever. Yes, Payton loved cookies and liked to help. Her little nose told her when something good was about to happen- and especially when she got to help you and your mom make those cookies.
    Thank you again for sharing Angel Payton with us. We like to keep the memories right in front of our eyes.

  9. I love seeing the pictures of Payton as a youngster! She appeared to be very well-mannered during the cookie making process, patiently waiting for the delicatasties to be finished.

  10. I love those photos of Payton with the little winter hat on - very cute! I can't wait to check out Wiggly Field and some of those other cool spots that Payton liked once the weather gets a little nicer here. It's still FRIGID outside (and it's supposed to be "Spring" today - yeah right!).

    -Love,
    Sid.
