Today we said goodbye to our beautiful girl, Madge.

For 13½ wonderful years, you filled our lives with love, loyalty, and companionship. You wasn’t just our dog, you were family.

I’ll miss coming home from work knowing that you would be there, patiently lying looking at the front door, waiting for me to return. No matter what kind of day I’d had, seeing you there made everything better. That quiet loyalty and unconditional love were gifts I’ll never forget.

The house feels so much emptier without you, but the memories you gave us will stay in our hearts forever. We were lucky to have shared so many years with such a gentle, loving soul.
