maddie r.i.p.

Our family is smaller today. We had to say goodbye to Maddie, who spent twelve-plus of her fifteen years as a loyal, exuberant and joyful member of our pack. She was a good sister to four different brothers, including Button, the newest and smallest with her below.

My heart aches from the loss, but is full with memories and gratitude for my golden girl's companionship, love, and unending faith that something good could happen at any time. Maddie, I love you, I miss you, and I'll never forget you. You're a good girl.

For a chance to win a Sony W-Series Walkman, check out this blog Another Mile. I don't like listening to music while riding for some of the same reasons Jeff doesn't while running, but it does look like a pretty cool product.
