Good bye, old friend.
There's no doubt that we haven't posted anything to the blog as of late. Neither Crystal nor I have been very good at updating lately. This entry won't be long.
This weekend we lost our dog, Allie. Crystal and I got her two months into our marriage; she's been with us the whole time. On Friday, Allie started showing signs of being very sick and she deteriorated quickly. The vet told us she had an auto-immune disease and that her body was attacking itself. There was no realistic way to save her. We had to say good bye to her on Saturday afternoon.
As funny as it sounds, she was part of our family. We'll miss her, and I know that there are others who will too. She was the greatest dog I've ever known. I don't know anyone who didn't like having her around. Before she came into our lives, I did not like dogs at all. For the last 7 years I've said that she turned me into a dog lover. She certainly made me love her.
We'll miss you, Allie. It won't be the same without you around. You were the best dog. I'm thankful for the 7 years we had with you. I know that we will never forget you. All you ever wanted was to make Crystal and me happy. You succeeded.
