Goodbye, old friend.

Saba, one of our oldest friends, has gone to doggy heaven.

It's hard to believe that we'd known her our whole lives, and now she's gone. Daddy still remembers the day he brought her home from a shelter over 14 years ago, and then the time she spent living with him in Virginia, when she was still a little puppy and young dog. 

But we know that she had a really good life and was *very* well taken care of during all those years she lived at Dziadek and Babcia's house once Daddy moved to New York. And we're really glad that we got to spend the last two long weekends with her in New Jersey, playing with her and feeding her and having her watch over us. She always seemed to find a way to be near Everett and me whenever we went to Dziadek and Babcia's house, like she was watching over us. She would even always sleep in the room that one of us was sleeping in, not in her usual spot with Babcia or Prababcia.

But most of all, we're happy for all the memories we both have with Saba and all the joy she provided us  since we were little babies ourselves. Even though we grew up and changed, Saba always stayed the same, patient and gentle with us (even when we might have pulled on her tail or nose once in a while.)

Good bye, Saba. We'll miss you!

Saba loved you boys so much. She was such a good dog and I'm glad you gave her so many treats! I'm so happy you got to spend so much time with her, she was very special.
