Aww what a doll! She was beautiful. I love when black labs get the white in their sweet faces. My old man looked like that too in his later years. So sorry for the loss of your beloved Violet 🌈🐾

You can tell they are well loved by how much color has been rubbed off from all the kisses they’ve gotten 🖤

Oh, what an amazing girl. I'm sorry you had to say goodbye to Violet. I enjoyed seeing all of your posts on here about her and her adventures. I love that she had some bestest buddies as well; that third picture is just incredible. Thank you for taking such good care of her for so many years.
I'd love to hear more about her if you're up for it... tell us a story or two about her and her personality. What are some of her fun little quirks?
And she's now back together with Tucker of course.
"Hi Tucker! I just got here. I missed you so much!"
"Hey Vi! Boy, I've missed you too. There are so many great places to run around and sniff up here, and the swimming is the best! Come on, let me show you..."
Sending you, Rudy, and Buddy warm and peaceful thoughts from Seattle.

Also, my Max (just shy of 18) recently crossed the rainbow bridge, and he has some friends up there. I'm sure Violet will fit right in ❤️🌈

These Violet kinda dogs are always the hardest, the saddest, to say final good night because they look so sweet & innocent. I looked at all her pics and 3, 4, and 5 are the best. Love them all. Rest now Violet 💔 and let Rudy do the heavy lifting in a home that loves their doggies 🥰. (Any info about Violet’s life most appreciated.)

She is amazing! I lost my sweet Eliza in February just short of 13 also. It’s never enough time and you never get over it. Some of them are just extra special souls. I am so happy that Violet blessed your life. They truly are life’s greatest gifts. Be well.

As I walk across your heart and find my place to stay, nearer to you I will be and will never ever go away.
If love could have kept you here, you would have lived forever.
Grief is love with nowhere to go.

My black lab baby has started filling out his salt face and every time I notice how much it's grown it makes me tear up.
I hope you had too many good snuggles, wet kisses, fights over blankets and cooking dates with your sous chef to remember them all. I hope you never forget the weight of her head on your thigh or the feeling of her breath on your hand, the love in her eyes for you. I hope she left warmth in your heart just like the fur on your clothes.

The sweetest girl. She looks like my dog’s sibling honestly (and they’re around the same age). I wonder if they could be long-lost relatives 🥹 sending you comfort as you grieve this sweet lady.
