a water dog, through and through

October 20, 2001 - August 20, 2014

Layla was a beautiful yellow Lab that grew up on the shores of Lake Erie and playing at her family’s western Pennsylvania hunting camp. She was a water dog, through and through. She would take off swimming in Lake Erie and swim so far out that she could barely be seen, and her mom would have to call and call for her to come back. She was also a Jeep dog that loved being the boss! Even a diabetes diagnosis could not slow her down too much. She progressively lost her eyesight, but was just hitting her stride.

In 2012, Layla got a wonderful retirement home in Texas when her mom and dad moved with her to the Lone Star State. She also got a little brother, Bentley, the German Shorthaired Pointer. Layla was a great big sister, but an even better retiree. She would lay on her cushioned bench outside by the pool, tanning her yellow lab self, in the manner of a true snowbird.

Layla brought lots of laughs, and was a true companion. Pretty girl, you will be missed!
