Annabelle _

January 1, 2007 - December 28, 2020

To our Annabelle: Annabelle came into my life in July 2009 and had complete ownership of my heart from Day 1. I had made an appointment at the local Humane Society to visit her, and the minute we saw each other, she rolled over for a belly rub. I knew then and there we were meant to rescue each other. Annabelle had the most personality of any dog I’ve ever met. When she felt like she wasn’t getting enough attention, she would poke you in the leg with her nose. If you didn’t respond, she would poke a little harder. We called it getting “nose bombed” because she would keep poking until you acknowledged her. Annabelle was also the Queen of Hide & Seek. My dad would hide in different rooms or around different corners, and Annabelle would creep through the house until she found him. She remembered his favorite hiding places and would always check those first. When Annabelle turned 10, I started getting Bark Boxes for her each month. As a result, she thought that any package that came to the house belonged to her. She learned to chew around the edges of the box until she could get it open. I truly believe that Annabelle was my dog soulmate, and I miss her more with each passing day. Even though we had 11 1/2 years together, it wasn’t nearly enough. Fly free, Annabelle Lee. I’ll see you again someday. Nickname(s): Nanners About Annabelle Species: Dog Breed: Mixed Gender: Female Favorite Toy: Anything with a squeaker Favorite Treat: All of them!
