Obituary of Sadie Sheehan
Sadie Sheehan
Born: 12/06/2010

Our Sadie. She was loved so much by her Mommy and Daddy and our children and
grandchildren. She was such a source of love, joy, and even normalcy when the world changed in March 2020. Sadie was a real fireball of energy and a problem solver. The first day we went to pick up Sadie from the breeder, she escaped from the pen the puppies were being held in. Sadie then tried to show all of the other puppies how to escape. Our Houdini. Sadie lived for playtime. She would play fetch with her collection of bones until her tongue turned purple as she tried to catch her breath. Sadie loved her doggy sibling Simon, and next to playtime, loved to tease the lad. I know she misses him.
Sadie - Go find Julie and Simon and stay with them until we can meet again. Even as our hearts are breaking and the tears flow, we are comforted knowing that you are whole now and free of pain. Love you little girl!

I had a dog
who loved flowers.
Briskly she went
through the fields,
yet paused
for the honeysuckle
or the rose,
her dark head
and her wet nose
touching
the face
of every one
with its petals
of silk,
with its fragrance
rising
into the air
where the bees,
their bodies
heavy with pollen,
hovered-
and easily
she adored
every blossom,
not in the serious,
careful way
that we choose
this blossom or that blossom
the way we praise or don’t praise-
the way we love
or don’t love-
but the way
we long to be-
that happy
in the heaven of earth-
that wild, that loving.
