Izzy

A few days after we left New York our dog Izzy disappeared. She was always wandering and always came back but not this time. Two weeks later a man saw Izzy's missing sign and called to tell mom that two weeks prior he hit her with his car on accident. It was raining and he couldn't see her. She had no tag on, thanks to my kids who were playing with her collar while we were there, so he didn't know who to contact. Then he saw the sign later and called.

We will miss you Izzy. Even though you didn't like all the little kids, they loved you.

Izzy would be 18 years old next month. She as been with us forever and I felt like she always would be. It will be strange going home and her not being there.

I knew when she died it would be sad but it surprised me how emotional I got about it. I didn't think I would cry but now a days you can count on me to cry about everything. I'll miss you Iz. Even though I didn't give you lots of attention you were a constant in my NY life and I will miss you.

I wish I had some of the pictures when she was a young fluffy puppy. They are so cute.

Bye, Izzy. See you on the other side.
