Mandy was the sweetest, friendliest dog ever.  I will always remember her curly black and tan fur and her adorable brown eyes that could beg a snack from the most resistant person any day!  When she was younger she would climb onto the back of the couch and lay with one leg hanging over the side as she gazed out the window.  She did something else unique which I've never seen another dog do.  When we came home after an absence (it didn't matter if it was two days or two minutes!), she would get wonderfully excited and charge around the house as if she couldn't contain her joy!  I miss giving her a tummy rub and cuddling up to watch a movie with her.  I know she has a place in doggy heaven.
