We just learned that one of my local neighborhood dog buddies, Sandy, has gone missing and is presumed to have passed away (she was rather old and not in great health). Sandy was the pomeranian at the end of our street. She was a bit of a lovable nuisance. She would occassionally walk from her house to our house to come into our front yard and bark at us. She regularly chased joggers and bikers who made the mistake of running or riding past her house. We'll miss seeing you on our daily walks, Sandy.
