To Sandy…

As in any sitcom, sometimes real life gets gets in the way.  This weekend, we had to say goodbye to our beautiful German Shepherd, Sandy.  A rescue dog, she has been our constant companion for the past twelve years.  Her calm, good nature was always a good mix with the other dogs.  And she was always very protective and gentle with our children.

It wasn’t sudden.  We have known the day was coming as she was dealing with increasing pain every day.  Sandy suffered from a common ailment of the Shepherd breed called Hip Dysplasia.  Over the years, her joints in her hips have degenerated.  So much so that in the past four months, she had lost the ability to get up on her own and we have had go so far as to hold her up while she was eating.  
We are grateful that we were given the chance to know her.  We will truly miss her beautiful spirit and know in our hearts that somewhere she is now running through fields chasing rabbits and having no more pain.
