Dear Amy. I am awash in tears. Your beautiful tribute to your your heart dog, your dog of a lifetime, your beautiful best friend Shina has moved me more than words can express. In her adoring brown eyes is reflected a lifetime of unconditional love, friendship and devotion. For 17 wonderful years you grew together, laughed together, cried together and comforted each other. To have known the love of a dog as special as your beautiful Shina is to have been truly blessed. I loved how you spoke of her ladylike charms; how she would sit so sweetly with her paws crossed, how impishly she would trot off with her leash in her mouth Those are the happy memories that will fill your heart and nourish your soul until that day you and Shina are united once more. And Amy, you are not alone. My special girl, my best friend forever, was, is, my beloved Lab Jingles. "You Are My Sunshine" was our song too and it was the song I sang softly into her ears as she made her journey to the Rainbow Bridge. Like my Jing, your Shina has shed her earthly bounds but I have no doubt that today, on this, her special day, she is looking down upon us with all of our beloved RB babies, smiling, so proud that her Mommy has honored her so lovingly. Today, along with you, we celebrate her life and the inseperable bond that joins you and her for eternity. Bless you beautiful Shina. And thank you so much Amy for sharing your Shina with us. It was an honor to have met her. Love, Sandra
