We Love U Maddie

Two days ago, our beloved dog Maddie wasn't able to walk. So we rushed her to the hospital for a check-up. Today we learned she had bone cancer near her spine accompanied by heart troubles. As a result, we laid her to rest this afternoon. She would have been 13 years old in January.

Maddie has essentially been with Chris and I since day one. She traveled to Europe with us for our overseas adventures - living in Paris and Munich, crossing borders, visiting castles. We are ever so grateful to her for what she brought to our lives. She will never be forgotten. We love you Maddie.

And in her honor, until the first of the year, the blog goes silent.
