Dixie is gone
Dixie died sometime today. She was officially my oldest daughter's dog, however she was very dear to the whole family. I can say without equivocation that, from my perspective, she was the best natured and most joyful dog I've ever known. She was only about eight months old. We will miss her greatly. She had been suffering with and undergoing treatment for two autoimmune diseases for over a month. There were several cycles of improvement followed by a rapid return of the symptoms. Although we knew death was a possibility, it has hit us pretty hard in the gut. Mercifully, the end came fairly quick.
Everyone should have the privilege of knowing a dog like her.

I am so sorry. I can't imagine how you feel. Our dogs, especially the one is really almost part of the family, although we realize they are still dogs. They do get a special place in your heart. May the Lord hold you all close.
Dear Bradshaw Family,
Having recently undergone the loss of Smoltzie, we empathize greatly with you. We will pray for all of you in the coming weeks.
We feel very badly for you, as we understand how dogs are truly members of the family. What a blessing to have had such a nice one.
I'm so sorry to hear about Dixie. I understand the bonds that we have with dogs very well, and how hard it is when they go. God has given man the dog as helper in exercising godly dominion, a task that builds a true bond between man and beast. I praise God for the memories of Dixie you and your family have.
