The Seavey Family Blog

I was looking thru the pictures by my bedside very early this morning.  In doing so, every time I looked at a different picture, I remembered a different nickname we had for Mandy.  Everything from Bella to Pretty Pretty Princess Puppykins from Puppykinsville had a unique context that fit best, and it seems that each picture in the album speaks to a different one.

Mandy had so many different attitudes - she’d be playful and silly if she didn’t think anyone was watching, she’d guard against the UPS lady despite her constant attempts to make friends, and then she’s come inside and take over the bed like royalty.  And boy - if she saw a squirrel or skunk…watch out!

I’m sure that Mandy and Kira would have gotten along great, and I wish they could have somehow known each other.   Yet, somehow, Kira has picked up more than one of Mandy’s mannerisms.  That makes me smile, as it sure tells me that Mandy made sure to let Kira know about us and about all the progress she made getting us in line!

Mandy - we love and miss you greatly. You are with us every day in ways I never thought possible, and I thank you very much for that.
