Our beloved NOVA dog

I finally got a chance to watch "Marley and Me" today...sob..SOB...sob!!! Such a beautiful story and a wonderful reminder of the pure joy of doggy love. Nova has been there with us through it all over the last 4.5 years. What a treasure she is!
Here is the final quote from the movie:
A dog has no need for fancy cars, big cars or designer homes. A water log stick will do just fine. A dog doesn't care if you are rich or poor, clever or dull, smart or dumb. Give him your heart and he'll give you his. How many people can you say that about? How many people can make you feel rare and pure and special? How many people can make you feel extraordinary? - John Grogan.

Nova as a little pup. Loved to climb into the plant to sit.

So fluffy!!
A pat before I go off to get married. A cuddle after a night out.
At puppy school! Her moping look - when do we go to the park?
Nova meeting Baby Elise for the 1st time. Mum & 3 week old Elise with Nova.

Nova always the protector - never far away from Baby Elise?
Always comes with us on family holidays.
Or on our picnics...We couldn't wait for Elise to start walking Nova...
Elise covered in stickers and so is Nova!

Nova is so placid and copes with Gisele climbing all over her.
They like hanging out at the front door together too.

We love our Nova dog. Can't imagine life without her friendly enthusiasm and unwavering loyalty. We have met so many people and enjoyed countless walks and hours of fun at the park because she is in our lives.
