The summer of 2005 found us in East London, South Africa, serving with Mercy Ships aboard the m/v Anastasis. While we were there, Sam's mom sent us an e-mail, saying they had had a stray dog show up on the farm, pregnant. Would we be interested in a puppy? No. Absolutely not.
Somehow, by the time we got back to the States, we had a dog - or at least, soon would. As we tossed around a variety of names, one name came out on top - "Anastasis", "Annie" for short. We had a little black puppy named after a big white ship that we loved.
This morning, Dr. Lindsey Knox from MN Pets arrived at our house around 10:45 a.m. She kindly and graciously helped us let Annie go. Annie now rests between two oak trees she used to sniff and run around in our back yard.
We were blessed with fifteen years, two months and ten days of a wonderful friend and we will miss her dearly.
Blessed to have had the
ANASTASIS
