Mandie was my little girl, she died a few years back. During her whole life, not once did I ever call her a dog. She was and always will be my daughter. How I wish I had a journal/diary like this when she was alive so I could have recorded precious memories of my little girl. The times she made me laugh, cry and sometimes when I was ready to tell her to pack her toys and bones and hit the road. You know the feeling. Now as time goes by, my memory fades. But if I had a book like this, I could always go back and read it over and over again. I hope you enjoy my book. Keep the memories alive! Great gifts for family and friends. Excellent stocking stuffers. Keep the memories alive.
