Aggie


We recently lost our beloved dog Aggie. If there was ever a screwball, she was it! I've never met a stranger dog, but she sure was lovable. I miss her so much. She drove me absolutely insane, but I would give anything to have her back.

She came into our lives in a peculiar way. The guy next door to my girlfriend's house (now she's my wife) bought a dog for his 2 little girls for Christmas. Unfortunately the girls wanted nothing to do with her and she was left alone in the backyard, rain or shine, hot or cold. Sometimes he would forget to feed her or give her water. The following Christmas he moved and left the dog in the backyard. After a few days, she chewed through the fence and came into my girlfriend's yard. Nina left a note on the neighbor's door letting him know where his dog was. I was at Nina's house one afternoon with my two children when the neighbor showed up. He said if Nina wanted the dog she could keep it, otherwise he was taking it to the pound. When my kids heard that they started crying and begging me to keep the dog. I didn't really want her, but relented. It was the beginning of a crazy, silly relationship between man and dog.

Aggie didn't have a mean bone in her body and loved everyone. She brought us love, kindness and loyalty.

Aggie, I miss you and wish you were here. Rest in peace my beloved friend. I will always love you!
