Sandy left us peacefully and with dignity on Saturday, June 2, 2007. He was surrounded by loved ones, including Tim and Samantha and myself, along with the wonderful doctors and other staff at the Veterinary Center of Cape Elizabeth, especially his original vet, Dr. Linda Bond, and one of his favorite technicians.
Sandy seemed to make friends wherever he went, and his gentle and cooperative nature had gained him great fans and friends at his vet's office. Dr Bond and others referred to him as "such a gentleman" during his many recent exams. What a trooper. He took whatever life threw at him with grace and without complaint and always made the best of every situation. These are traits that I hope to emulate. It's true what they say, that we could learn a lot from dogs.
He will be missed, but always remembered with the same smiles and love that he projected everywhere he went. I like to think of the visual our friend Susan from Colorado created when she said he'll be "playing with Maxie in heaven's sunshine." Both will always live in our hearts.
