Carolina Sandy Beaches

regisistered as carolina sandy beaches, i remember the day we brought you home. i was five years old riding shot gun with my daddy. we pulled up to an apartment and stepped inside. you were on top the bed barking. we took you home and you laid in my lap all the way. you were john's surprise, he always wanted a puppy. you were everything a family could want from a dog. your engerjected personality always licking people up in their face. i have many memories of you. the time you fell off the dock and dad had to pull you back up. the day you cut your paw on an oyster while playing frisbee. i came home from school one day to see a massive hole in the front door. were you hungry? haha. i was roller blading in the yard and you bit me in the butt. ouch. i still love you though. always have and always will. but u got old. artheritis came and hit never got easier. you lost weight. you couldnt stand and use stairs so daddy took you to the vet. you couldnt make it inside so he carried you in his arms like when you were a puppy. the vet said you had a tumor in your stomach and he knew what was best. the tears were hot on my cheeks while you laid your head down to sleep, a sleep from which you will never wake. no the house seems empty. like we left something behind. i dont have to walk around you anymore and it hurts. ur thump thump tail doesnt beat anymore. but you will always be remembered in our hearts and in our memories. Sandy, you were without a doubt the best dog anyone could ever have. a marvelous 11 1/2 years. i love you.
