A Tribute to Sadie

Tonight Cynthia and I were faced with the terrible news that Sadie, our faithful friend and dog, had lymphoma carcinoma and didn't have long to live. Remembering that Sadie had been so faithful to us we could not allow her to suffer. Given the prognosis we allowed her to be put to sleep. At our request we were allowed to stay. Cynthia held her head in her hands while I rubbed her stomach--two of her most favorite things in the world. A few moments later she fell asleep. Wiping our tears away we choose to remember the happy times that we three had shared. Admittedly we will miss her terribly but Sadie was so good to us we could be no less to her. Our hearts are sad, our memories full, and we wish to share with you through these thoughts and the slideshow below. Sadie, the One and Only. She was much more than man's best friend---she was our best friend.
