Annie came into our lives a little over a year ago. She was not the prettiest pup in the litter but she was destined to be ours. Annie was the most gentle soul I have ever known. She had green eyes that looked wise and loving. She never failed to wake me at 5:30 every morning with a cold wet nose to my leg, letting me know it was time to go out. Annie wandered away from home yesterday, following a neighbor's pup and was hit by a car. I only pray that it was an instant death. We have lost a member of our family, and I have lost the dearest friend I ever had. I love you so Annie.
