Christmas day 2002 or lives were changed for the better. A sweet little yellow lab puppy blessed our lives. She was the runt of the litter, small but onry. For the next 13 years Mandy would teach us what it means to be loyal, patient, and overall loving towards our furry family member. She always loved having something in her mouth, whether it was a sock or stuffed animal she always loved to be chased. When we were in the kitchen she was always at our feet waiting for the moment she would be rewarded with a treat. She loved waking up in the morning with dad who would always make sure she had food and water. Walks and evenings spent on the front porch with her family were some of Mandy's favorite things. She played a pivotal role in our family and we miss her dearly. Rest in peace Mandy, we will always love you.
