Our sweet, 16-year-old Addy bear crossed over the rainbow bridge on November 25th. The hardest, most shattering decision we’ve ever had to make. She was the chattiest gal in the room; eagerly awaited our arrival at the front door when we would get home (always with a mischievous grin as if she’d been up to something naughty while we were away); would sit for hours of cuddles if our laps would allow; chirped expectantly at us the minute it was time for dinner; and smelled inexplicably and perfectly of fresh powder. When laying on one of our laps, she would extend her arm as far as absolutely necessary to ensure she had a paw on the other of us — always wanting to be as connected as possible, and us more than happy to oblige. She was full of personality and immediately beloved by everyone who met her. She had our whole hearts.

We hope the other side is full of long naps in a sun-drenched “cozy bed” perched high atop the city — her most favorite place in the world.

We’ll miss you and that big voice forever, our girl.
