Sarah (Cbar Sarah…whelped 11-10-94…adopted 11-18-99…crossed
over 01-14-02) My 'surprise Sarah', or "Princess Pretty Puppy" as we
liked to call her. I saw her at the holding kennel in NH and I guess you could
say it was love at first sight. For days after, all I seemed to be able to talk
about was how cute Sarah was and what nice kisses Sarah gave. I even contacted
the woman at the kennel and asked if she could 'hold' her for me, to which she
replied "You want 'lay away'?! What do you think this is…..Walmart?!"
While helping to unload the females at a transport the following weekend,
a familiar face peered through the window. Unknown to me, Tyler had arranged and
everyone had conspired to bring Sarah home to me … or to him actually. As these
things sometimes work out, Sarah was just meant to be 'daddy's girl' and her eyes
always held a special sparkle just for him.
She liked nothing better
than a sprint about the backyard, some stuffie tossing and a quick dip in the
pool before finding her comfy spot; and did she ever know how to 'work the crowd'
at Meet and Greets!! I cried the day she came home to us and we both cried the
day she followed Ghibli to the Bridge.
