I remember you Spencer

[MariaM]

Ok I know these are horrible, horrible pictures. But that is because I took a picture, of a picture. (We didn't have a digital camera back then) Please view them though!(There might be only one because I haven't quite figured this out yet)

Last late March/early April, Spencer, a golden retriever died. Spencer came to live with my farm neighbors when she was about 2 years old in April 2001. She was a wonderful dog.

I remember when she would come over to our farm that was across the street. I would always want to pet her, so she would go to everyone else first. She wanted to get attention from the people who weren't interested in her first, and then come back to me.

Spencer and I would play tug-of-war sometimes and fetch. Spencer was a really nice dog. But last March she got really sick. She started losing fur. She was suffering badly, so they had to... well, you know. Not put her down, but the "farm way"

I was so sad when I found out. I really didn't know what to say. But I am glad I still have pictured to remember her by, and she will always have a place in my heart.
