Anyone who knows me knows my first baby was Allie. Ryan got her for me right after I graduated from college. I was so excited, I was an adult, and I could finally have my own dog...no one could tell me I couldn't have a pet anymore. Little Allie was babied for quite some time, and was not thrilled when Logan was born. Although she spent the past few years outside of the lime light, she was still spoiled. Her doggy treats were replaced by daily binging on the kids' leftovers (only food that "fell" onto the floor). She lost her place in my bed but got to sleep on Daddy's comfy old shirt, which was fine with her. And instead of taking pictures of her being cute, she was forced to pose in pictures with the kids. She was definately a good sport though b/c she sat still even when the kids pinched, pulled and slobbered on her. Well little miss Allie, being the escape artist that she was, escaped one last time today. In fact we hadn't even realized she had snuck out until we got a knock on our door. Ryan answered the door and I peeked out and got a glimpse of my baby in the street. I ran outside and fell to the ground sobbing. Ryan picked her up and set her on the back of his truck, but she was already gone, and there was nothing we could do. I'm still in shock and I feel awful that we couldn't keep her safe. Thank God she didn't suffer, she died instantly. She was an awesome pet, I couldn't have asked for any better, and I'm glad we had her for the 6 years. She taught our kids so much. I truly believe they are gentler, kinder human beings because of their exposure to this little family pet. She instilled a sense of caring for animals in my kids and I'm thankful for that. Goodbye my little girl. We'll miss you!
