Mandy by Karen Kempf / Mommy & the rest of the Family

I’m writing this for mom because she’s too upset to do it herself.
We had you for a long time, 11yrs to be exact. You were only expected to live 10. You almost made it to 12! When you were younger you were quite a fun pup. One time you wanted to go out so bad you went in moms room and got your own leash! It caused quite some laughter.
When you got older you got arthritis and started losing your hair. We were told you were losing your hair because of a certain food you were eating.
I myself lost interest in you when you got older because you started to smell due to your rotten teeth. I know you couldn’t help it, but I really didn’t like the smell and I’m sorry that I treated you like that.
I know mom will miss you dearly. You always followed her around the house. When dad would give mom a kiss before he’d leave for work you’d want one too!

 

With Tremendous Love,
Mandy
