Our return to Lacey and Neil’s home in Spalding felt like visiting old friends. Murphy, still a playful pup, became Dylan’s constant companion, while Arnie, older, gentle, and full of cheeky charm, enjoyed his final weeks surrounded by love before crossing the rainbow bridge. Luna the cat added her quiet grace to the household. Long countryside walks, evenings in the hot tub, and the warmth of lasting friendships made this sit one of both joy and tenderness.
