I am sorry but our dog, Chelsea had to be put to sleep. We had to do it. And anyway she’s very old. But for a good reson. I know. I am sad to. But the angles diserve her more. They work all day and all night. Bye. — Sophia

EDIT FROM DAN (12-15-17):  I am forced to revisit this very sad entry written by Sophia back in March of 2008.

I was sending a picture of Michaela and Chelsea to my children and was asked by Luke to send more pictures of Chelsea.  For some reason Chelsea keeps entering my mind in recent months.  She was a true family member and she brought so much joy (most of the time)…..

I decided to look through my archived pictures of her with the kids and see if I could find some representative images to send off to the kids.  This is what I came up with .

Merry Christmas, Chelsea.  Our family will always miss you……
