What a Glorious
Dog! Sandy was everything a good friend should be: Loyal, Considerate,
Affectionate, Steadfast, Gentle, and more. Twice abandoned because
of physical problems, FloridaWild was fortunate to adopt her early
in 2006 as their hospital doggie. During the day she roamed the
downstairs, poking her shiny black nose into all the nooks and crannies,
following the vet techs around, barking her enthusiasm with life,
and in the evenings going home with Dr. Holder. She greeted all the
animals brought in with tender concern, never causing problems except
when Dr. Holder clipped her nails! She loved being outside in the
evenings and on the weekends with her mom, Dr. Holder, her dad Justin,
and her sister and brother, Emma and Henry.
The last month of her life as her health deteriorated she moved in
with her Granni and Grandpa, Maggi and Ron Hall. Being in the garden
was her favorite activity, listening to the birds chirp, watching
the traffic, and enjoying seeing the Hall’s four dogs romp about.
Her last hour of life found her in the garden with the butterflies
hovering above, surrounded by her mom, her Granni, her Grandpa, and
her doggie friends.
Sandy, our soft and fluffy darling, will be terribly missed for the
remainder of our lives. But she will be remembered always through
"Sandy's Page." |
GOD'S
GIFT TO MAN |
Adam
and Eve said, "Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with
us every day. Now we do not see You any more. We are lonesome here
and it is difficult for us to remember how much You love us."
And
God said, "I will create a companion
for you that will be with you and who will be a reflection of My
love for you. This companion will help you love Me even when you
cannot see Me. Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable
you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will
love you as I do, in spite of yourselves."
And
God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam and Eve. And
it was a good animal. And God was pleased. And the new animal was
pleased to be with Adam and Eve and he wagged his tail.
And
Adam said, "Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom
but I cannot think of a name for this new animal."
And
God said, "Since I created this new animal to be a reflection of
My love for you, his name will be a reflection of My name. You will
call him DOG."
And
Dog lived with Adam and Eve and was a companion to them and loved
them in spite of themselves. And they were comforted. And God was
pleased. And Dog was content and wagged his tail.
