Rest in peace, Mandy


This is the last picture taken of Mandy, yesterday evening. The highway she so frequently crossed got her today. I always knew it could happen, but she had a wonderfully happy life, short though it was. And she enriched my life in myriad ways.

Thank You God, for letting me know this dog for awhile.

  7. Dear Mosie, I've tried repeated times to leave you a comment but AOL is acting up...hopefully this one will go through.
    Please accept my condolences re your sweet Mandy, she now joins many of our beloved pets who have gone on ahead. She was loved & taken good care of, & in return she gave your family much love & many happy memories.
    I left a little post in my furr babies journal about her!
    Blessings to your family & may God Bless.

  29. Donna, I am so very sorry. That word "sorry" just doesn't seem to convey the depth of my sympathy. She was a lucky dog to have you in her life and vise-versa.  I am just sick over this accident. I hope you are OK Donna.  I just can't believe we won't be seeing anymore Mandy pictures and hear the stories.  Anne

  47. I came from Sugars journal...I am terribly sorry for the loss of your family member Mandy..I know the pain you must be going thru.I have lost 2 in the last few years.1 was hit and killed and 1 died of old age..Then my Ms Daisy I have now was hit and lucky she survived..But it was enormous nursing her back to health. And its a terrible thing that some people dont even try to keep from hitting them.You and Mandy are in my prayers.

  57. God bless your Mandy.  I found you through Sugar of Fur Babies.  Having recently lost a dog of my own, I know how you feel.  I am attempting to write his story in his own words so to speak.  There is a link on my journal if you are interested.  My thoughts are with you.
