In Loving Memory of Sissy

Last week, our hearts were shattered as we said goodbye to our sweet Sissy girl - just weeks after celebrating another year of her beautiful life. She was our gentle giant, our steady comfort, and the soft heartbeat of our home.

Sissy loved her grandkids with every ounce of her big, loyal heart. She watched over them, adored them, and gave them the kind of unconditional love only a dog like her could give. Her joy was pure, simple, and contagious.

We miss her greetings more than words can explain - the way she'd meet us at the front door with a toy in her mouth, letting out that deep, goofy growl that somehow always meant "I'm so happy you're home." That sound filled our house with life. Now the silence feels heavy.

Sissy had so much love to give, and she gave it freely to everyone lucky enough to know her. She wasn't just a pet - she was family, a protector, a companion, and a source of comfort on our hardest days.

Our hearts ache, but we hold onto the hope that one day we'll see her again. Until then, run free, sweet girl. We love you more than you ever knew, and we carry you with us in everything we do.
