Annie was more than just a pet to our family; she was part of our family. The first day we saw her at the pound she was in the corner by herself, timid and shy. I was about 5 or 6 years old. We adopted her with joy and decided on the name Annie because she had red hair just like the orphan Annie. She has blessed our lives the last 14 years. When she was younger she was vibrant and full of energy. She ALWAYS had a smile on her face and a wag in her little ball tail. She was extremely protective of our family. She would guard our house even in her last days. She ate bee's when we be screaming at them. She always put her head on our laps for some love and attention. Even though she was incredibily protective, not once did she hurt anyone. She was one of the sweetest and well behaved dogs I have ever seen. She was loved by many. Her best feature, was her loving and adorable eyes. Those eyes told you a million words that she could not express. One of my favorite memories of her is when we accidentally left the back gate open, and didn't even realized it, and when we would come home, she be sitting on our porch. At those moments I knew Annie didn't want to be anywhere else but with our family. She loved us as we loved her, and she will ALWAYS be in our hearts! I love you Annie!
