Not too long after Dad died, Jillann said, "We need to get a dog". So we did, and we named her Emily.

She was a sweetie. This was one of her favorite positions. When she died I was heartbroken, and we almost lost Sarah the same night. Emily's leaving opened the door for us to meet Nicky, who I always cherished. I just wish I could have kept Emily and had Nicky at the same time.

Emily loved to play fetch, and she was very well behaved about it. The balls would become very soggy, but we could play with her in the back yard, and she always came back when she was supposed to.

I miss you, Emily. You were a good dog.
