SHADY

We're sad in our house right how; our sweet dog, Shady, passed away on the evening of Tuesday, May 11. She had never really been sick before; just a healthy and happy dog who still had lots of "puppy energy" when company came by - or a squirrel invaded her space! By the time she let us see that she wasn't feeling well, she was already approaching the final stages of kidney failure. What a strong little girl she was! Just a month ago she was walking with us all over the neighborhood and prancing joyfully for us when we came home. It has gone quickly for her -- and for us -- we are still a bit in shock that she's really gone. We will miss her caring watchfulness over our family and her sensitive soul. We've loved you, Shady.
