Goodbye my friend

It seems like only yesterday, we went to the Humane Society to find a dog to love. But it was really 11 years, 1 month and 3 days ago.

You were the most beautiful dog of them all, so we brought you home to live with us as our dog-our first baby. We did so much together-walks, car rides, snuggle times.

You were there when the Towers fell on that fateful day in September-nearly 6 months after we brought you home.

You were there and shared our excitement when we got our first BFP and you were there several weeks later when those dreams were turned upside down and I miscarried. You were there beside me through the pain and sorrow.

You were there the following year when we got another BFP, moved to a new home, built a fence for you and your new companion Spot and brought home our first son-Benjamin.

You were there two years later when we again got another BFP and brought home our second son-Levi.

You were there again two years later we moved again into our new home and again you managed the change with patience and love.

You were there again last month when we brought home our first daughter-Rebekah.

Through all those changes you were so patient, so loving and just you.

There are so many things I will miss-trash all over the floor, barking at the garbage men and anyone that stopped within 100 feet of our house, reminding you that it's just a thunderstorm and it would be ok, your happy face when we came home but the thing I will miss most is just you. You were my best friend, my protector, my girl.

I love and miss you my sweet, precious Sadie Dog.
