Eddie

When Andrew and I lived in Daytona Beach, FL, we went to the humane society to adopt our second dog. Brody was in need of a brother or sister while we were at work and we wanted to save a fur-baby. We walked around the sad, gray building looking at all of the dogs and puppies who needed a home and I could have taken them all home.
And there in a kennel looked the most pathetic one of all. We asked if we could take him out and meet him. He kissed our nose and had the most playful manner. He never lost his love of life. He was obnoxious and stubborn, like any Alaskan husky.
We had to bring Brody to meet him. We found out that Eddie was taken away by the county from a woman who beat him harshly. Eddie got away from us in the humane society yard and that should have been a sign to us that he was an obnoxious beast but he was meant to be our crazy boy.
Eddie passed away a couple months ago. He never stopped loving the kids, food, or toys. He always seemed to smile, even in his last days when he was in pain.
We miss him dearly and we are so glad we were able to give him 14 years of love and life on this earth. It never seems like enough time.
