On Friday, November 20, 2009, our beloved Sandi was set free from her pain and is resting in heaven. Sandi was only with us for seven years but it seems like she has always been with us and was a huge part of our family. Over the last year we learned that she was in kidney failure. We nursed her with medicine and special food until she would no longer eat fresh cooked chicken or even baby food. This was a difficult decision, but necessary to save her from pain. Sandi waited bravely for the girls to come home from school so we could all love her and say good bye. There will never be another dog as special and sweet. We miss her sad eyes, whipping around the outside of the house, meeting us at the door and telling us it is time for bed. We miss her terribly and she will always be part of our family. The tears still come, but time will heal the hurt and our memories will last until we meet her again.
