I'm sorry I made you cry! We still miss Sparky very much. I heard my daughter saying her prayers the other night and she said, "Amen! And please tell Sparky I love her!" I think that's the whole point of life. We miss Sparky so much, but we keep the love we have for her and she had for us. That part doesn't go away. We were blessed to have known her and to have been her family for 14 years. She was an exceptional dog!
