The passing of Sadie Spence

Sadie Spence, 2

Family Protector and Pet, Sadie Spence, 2, died Sept. 21, 2004, in front of her home in Winthrop, NY.

A service and burial was held at 10pm, at the site of the accident.

Sadie (half Chow/half German Shepherd) came to the Spence family 3 months ago from a family that could not keep her any longer, and was accepted and loved by all, except the cats. She kept the racoons out of the veggie oil and chased away all animal intruders. She was in the process of performing such duty when the accident occured.

The driver of the truck never saw her until after the hit, only the critter she was chasing.

She enjoyed runs, roughhousing, fetch, and playing with the cats.

She was loyal, and friendly, and never failed to let us know someone was trespassing by barking loudly as she hid behind the house.

She will be remembered and missed.

She is survived by her family, Steve, Linda, Michelle, Steven & Matthew, and her neighborhood canine pal, Oreo.

Steve Spence was in charge of arrangements, with the driver of the truck providing lighting and the shovel.
