Update

                                   I am so very sad.  I had Sadie just a tad over
                                  two years. Remember?  I just celebrated our
                                     anniversary?

                                     Sadie was born with birth defects and she
                                      amazed everyone by living the first few
                                      months after I picked her up off the street.
                                      It is amazing she lived this long.  She just
                                     could not keep weight on, and she was 
                                     throwing up a lot.  Her weight had gotten
                                     down to 3.7 which was a drop from 4.4 the
                                     week before.

                                   I knew she didn't feel good, and I knew the
                                   time was close, but I didn't want to think
                                   about it.  Sadie touched so many people --
                                    everyone -- and I mean everyone -- at the
                                    vets loved her.  They would go out of their
                                      way to see her when I brought her in.

                                   Sadie would wear clothes and walk on a leash.
                                   At the vets I could set her in a chair where she
                                   could see out and she would set there until our
                                    turn.  When her exam was over she would 
                                      jump off the table and head straight for the
                                     door and walk straight to the check out desk.
                                    She was amazing.

                                  I think Sophie misses her.  Sophie has never
                                  slept with me (Sadie did), but last night she 
                                   slept next to my pillow.  In fact I used her
                                     rump asa pillow for part of the night.


                                 Thanks everyone for their prayers and well
                                 wishes.  Thank you Lori for this beautiful
                                   tag:  
                                                

                                    You probably don't remember but just this
                                    past June I had to put my Dallas -- who was
                                     19 -- to sleep.

                                        Before you ask, no this isn't me on this tag
