The world's most lovable, loving and courageous little Bee!

Nickname: Yola Bee McGee, Tiki-Tock Dog, Rowena Bee, Beedoh,

Yola Bee crossed over suddenly on Halloween night surrounded by her mom and dad and was in her dad's loving arms when it happened. She had been battling congestive heart failure for some time but faced it with courage and it never took away her beautiful, bright spirit. Yola broke the mold--a true original--there will never be anyone like her. She accompanied her mom on many different tough journeys over the years and was always tuned in, always emotionally connected and always ready to steer her mom down a better path--she was a witness to how hard it is to be a human and how badly humans can treat each other and she also gave humans hope--that unending, pure love is the only way to live. She allowed us to view the world through her eyes and allowed us to accompany her on her journey here on this planet as a small dog with a huge spirit and a huge capacity for love to match. She lived life on her own terms and died on her own terms as well. I knew she was close to transitioning and she told me she was ready to go and I told her it was okay to go. She was an extension of us and everything in our lives, and we were honored to spend time with her and to be her friends, and to allow her into our hearts and lives. She was a remarkable animal and we shall all meet up in the other side again my sweet dog. I am committed to honoring her spirit by taking care of myself and enjoying the beauty of life and nature.

Yola also loved different kinds of animals and could connect to and relate with animals such as squirrels, cats and even cows. She would get excited when she'd see the Turkey Lurkey gang of wild turkeys making their rounds near our house on El Rancho and when Chaplin the cat from across the street would come to the door to visit with Mrs. Bee. She loved her long walks and smelling and observing. She also had the most unique and adorable quirks, including her curiosity regarding people's walkways to their houses and their front yards and we experienced mind-meld all the time. You could say that she was a soulmate of mine and we were connected through our mutual love and adoration of each other.

Yola, know that you were and are and will always be loved. That your presence helped us and enriched our lives more than you will ever know, and I know that you are now running through huge open fields, running free on sandy beaches and spending time with a large, extended animal family somewhere in another dimension. I will try to connect with your spirit and energy as much as I can and you will always be close to my heart, wherever I am and whatever I happen to be doing. LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!! Remember: We'll always be together in this lifetime and in the next. <3 <3 <3
