Shadow- you came to us as a tiny puppy from the shelter in July 2006- Nathan's dog. Nathan kept his promise to train you, take you outside to potty, and clean up your accidents.
You loved following us around everywhere- your name fit you so well! You learned to love the lake and loved swimming with us.
You learned how to "be a dog" from your big brother Cody. You were so lucky to have a great mentor like him. As he aged, he passed off important jobs to you- like barking at the UPS man.
Your favorite place was by Nathan's side, or in his bed... your goofiness showed in everything you did! You made us laugh all the time.
You were an awesome family dog, making friends with Milo the kitty (on his terms) and also Honey, who became your best buddy. When she died you were so sad, missing your friend.
You loved taking trips with us, car rides, trips to the lake, camping, the park-- anywhere we went, you were happy to be.
You loved and protected us with a fierceness, especially Nathan, but you so loved every one of us, always waiting at the door for us to get home.
When Nathan went to college, you missed him greatly, but then became my buddy.
We will never forget you, sweet Shadow. Run and play and chase those squirrels, we'll see you again one day!!
