Dear Friends & Family,

3 months after being diagnosed with cancer, Malia past away last Saturday night. While Elizabeth and I are sad about the physical loss of our pet ("our puppy"), we have some comfort knowing that she is no longer in pain and has lived a fulfilling life.

Some of you may recall me bringing home Malia when she was just 8 weeks old. As a puppy she was a chewer, a licker, and a drooler. And throughout her life, she never changed. :) Her favorite toys were the stuffed ones mainly because she liked tearing them apart and pulling out all the fibers. I think she just liked doing it to see us scream and laugh. Malia always liked to please the people she was with, and loved everyone unconditionally.
