A loss.


Today our family suffered the great loss of our long-time companion and best friend Allie Jo. She had 15 years and 8 months with us and I think I speak for all of us when I say how grateful we are for every moment we had.

"Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring--it was peace." - Milan Kundera

Sweet Amanda, just tripped over this page and read about your dog. I truly understand your feeling of loss. She was a good girl.
Hope to see you soon.
Love,
Aunt Lyn
