Our Beloved Sadie

Our dog Sadie died yesterday. Last summer she was diagnosed with a pituitary tumor which we treated aggressively. She was progressing nicely and enjoying life. She loved to go for walks especially at the cabin where she could be off leash and run through the clover. She enjoyed Christmas and New Year at the cabin then suddenly developed some lumps under her jaw. We immediately rushed home to have them biopsied. She had a very aggressive form of lymphoma which was spreading rapidly. She was put to rest yesterday afternoon and is now in doggie heaven chasing squirrels and enjoying a pain-free existance. She was a loyal companion and will be missed from the bottom of our hearts. Bear (formerly Shelby) will help to fill the void, hopefully for many years to come.

Sorry to hear about Sadie's passing. She was obviously a faithful companion.

Good to know that Bear will fill the void.

Poor Sadie. After almost ten years, I'm sure you will miss her.
