RIP Brodie 1997-2008



Last week we lost somebody in our family that was very much loved and was always there for us. Brodie was my Siberian Husky that I got before I moved back to Oregon from Utah. We covered a lot of ground together and had a lot of fun times. Most recently he became best friends and play buddy with my son, and if "woof" is in the dictionary, he taught him his first word. Everyone that met him fell in love with him and he always wanted to be where all the people were. The second half of his life was plagued by an infection in his throat that kept him on medication and last year spread to his right eye which had to be removed. No matter how sick he was, he never showed it and was always energetic and playful until the last week. He was a better person than a lot of the people in this world, and we will miss him.

You just made me cry...i even loved "smelly" and animals were never my favorite. i am going to miss him sitting on my cold feet on Christmas Day and jumping on the bed to wake me up, playing hide and go seek at Driscolls, laughing at his criminal record, feeding him cookies when nobody else would....i need to steal your pictures and blog about it myself.
