Allie

This past Thursday was a very sad day, we had to put our golden retriever, Allie to sleep. Allie was 14 years old so her health had been slowly deteriorating this past year and late Wednesday night she had a stroke. We knew it was her time but it was still so hard.

I got Allie as a Christmas present in 6th grade and she stole all of our hearts immediately! She brought so much happiness to our little family and we needed her just as badly as she needed us. She was SUCH a good dog and was incredibly sweet, smart and obedient. She had so many tricks she had mastered and loved to show off. She was my first dog and if I ever get another one, my expectations will probably be very out of line because Allie was pretty perfect.

As I said, Allie was 14 years and 8 months old. She lived a long great life and was very loved and spoiled (she deserved it)! We could not have asked for a better dog and we loved her so very much. I will always cherish all of the happy memories we had with her and she will be very missed by many people.
