In Memory of Sadie

Our beautiful girl Sadie has crossed the Bridge.

She came to us the year before last, and was fostered through a tough time. An enormous tumor was removed from her abdomen, which proved to our delight and rejoicing to be benign. Sweet Sadie was eventually adopted, but when the resident dog didn't care for her, she returned to her foster family, who joyfully took her back and adopted her themselves.

Sadie came back to her foster family and her siblings as if she'd been on a swell vacation! And she fit right in and was happy, and she made her family whole.

We were very sad to learn this spring that Sadie had been diagnosed with lymphoma. Despite chemotherapy and research and the best care that could be provided, Sadie was fading. Her family made the decision to give her peace and an end to her pain.

Our beautiful, funny, dancing Sadie is waiting for us, doing pirouettes in her tutu on the far side of the Bridge. We'll see her there someday.
