Mickey dog 3/15/88 - 2/7/01

Mickey our family dog died of cancer on Feb 7, 2001. Mickey became our dog when he was only 6 weeks old. Kathryn and I where not yet married. Kathryn, David (my brother), and I brought Mickey home one evening in April 1988. Kathryn and I would marry the next April.

Mickey was present for every life changing event of our marriage. Mickey waited for us to return from Denise's wedding. Mickey rode with us to Johns Hopkins Hospital the cold dark night that Paige (our oldest daughter) was born. Mickey waited for us the sunny January day while Rose came into the world. Mickey rode in with me in the cab of the large rental truck that moved us to Texas. Mickey welcomed Beth home from the hospital after her birth, and Grace from China on our return.

Mickey was always with us and Kathryn and I where with him at the end. We hope one day to be with him again.

The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them. Isaiah 11:6

As Providence would have it, the day that Mickey 'went home' the Vet hospital had a 2-3 month old black lab in need of a home. These are some pictures of Dixie, our new black lab. DixieGraceBeth.jpg (67974 bytes)DixieGrace.jpg (59944 bytes)Dixie.jpg (53770 bytes)

We are still looking for a house in the country. The last house that we found was not large enough for our family. We are now waiting till after Christmas to continue our house search.
