Some things just aren't forgotten easily

It's been a year since Sadie left us.  It was a hard decision but in her best interest.  Her suffering became more than I could bear to watch.  I still miss her.  Even removing her ornaments from the Christmas tree was painful.  When I put her name on the table cloth with mine, I said, "This will be the last time for Sadie's name."  You would have had to had a dog like Sadie to understand.  If you've ever had a pet that you loved like one of your own children, you'd know.  She was everything I wanted her to be.  She did everything I wanted her to do.  She and I were able to communicate.  She knew my daily routines.

There will never be another like her.  Never.
