An update by Steve

This is Steve posting while Neve is visiting DC with the kiddos along with our latest canine addition "Q" (who was rescued from our local shelter to help fill the inevitable void that we experienced last night).  Here is Spinny and Q resting beside her.

I can honestly say that Spinnaker's transition to the after-life was very hard on me since she always filled our family with unconditional love, especially greeting me at the door every evening (...when she could physically) or more recently looking up knowing Daddy is home.  Although I may have taken her welcomes for granted at times due to our busy schedules, tonight, I walked into my empty home longing to see Spinny and kneel down and pick her up to carry her outside to walk.... 

I do love you Spinny and you will always have a place in my heart!  May God Bless you...  NOW you can run and swim freely til your heart's content ;-)
