sweet savannah...

...this is the impossible blog. One I had hoped not to have to write for a long time. Unfortunately, the time has come. How do I begin to explain our love for our first "child"? I know it might seem silly to some, but Savannah was more than a dog to us...she was part of our family. There is no us without her...until today. Our beautiful 15 1/2 year old best friend has moved on. While we know it was time, it was impossibly difficult to say goodbye. How do you say goodbye to a being that had nothing but love for you throughout her entire life? She came into our lives as an ornery 4 month old puppy in North Carolina. She travelled with us to Georgia, Alaska, Ohio, New York and finally Maryland. She loved our son from the day we brought him home 12 years ago and was unbelievably patient throughout the years and many ear and tail pulls, horseback rides, and new additions to our pet family. She was perfect in our eyes...smelly breath, bad habits and all. We were blessed to spend so many years with her and our hope is that she felt same. My stepmom says that every time a dog dies, she finds a child in heaven who needs a loving companion. That's the perfect job for our sweet Savannah.

Ashley, this is a beautiful blog entry. You are so good at putting things into words. Thank you for sharing. Savannah was a wonderful puppy and I am glad I had the honor of being her friend.

Ashley, what a wonderful memorial to your first child. I am so sorry for your loss. John and I had a cocker spaniel who was our first child and we took him everywhere with us. Of course, kids came along, but he never seemed to mind. I have to say that the hardest thing to do was to say goodbye to him even though we knew it was the right thing to do.

You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

We are so sorry for your loss. Our hearts are with you & yours. You will always miss her, tears will become less infrequent-but Savannah will hold a place in your head, heart & daily routines always. Eventually, those memories will make you smile-not shed tears. Maybe Savannah, Brandy & Micah finally learned to play nice in puppy heaven! Love You. Belinda
