I lost a family member today. My mom's dog Roadie died of congestive heart failure. It really caught us all off-guard. One of my mom's other dogs, Daisy, has cancer. So, we've been preparing ourselves to say good-bye to her. But this came out of nowhere.

Roadie was a fantastic, sweet little dog...who looked like an Ewok. :) He was always cheerful and happy to be with his people. If you sat down it was never long before he popped up on your lap. He wouldn't try to demand our attention, either. He just wanted to be near us. And use us as furniture. ;) He was Daisy's nap buddy, Molly's favorite playmate and Mom's "cutest dog in the world". He will be sorely, sorely missed.
