We lost a very special member of our family today - Bella, born December 2, 2003, died last night. She was attacked by a big dog on our street in the summer, and had internal injuries that were exacerbated by an accident yesterday morning. She was the first dog I got after I moved away from home, and over the past 8 years saw me through getting married, buying a house, and having babies. We buried her in the backyard under a tree, with a headstone that says "friendship". She was a special friend and will be dearly missed by all of us. Kendall said that he wants kids at his funeral too, since they're always so full of life and help bring joy to a somber event :-)
