Sierra blessed us for over 4 years with her spunky “full-of-it” attitude, and love. That love was unconditional, well most of the time except when it was time for treats. You could almost set your watch by her letting you know that it was indeed “Treat Time”. Believe us, your watch had better be telling you the right time, because she would certainly tell you if you were late.

On the hiking trails, our daughter revealed another trait. No matter how long or difficult the hike, she never quit. This earned her one of many of her nicknames . . . Our Little Trooper. Sierra also took to heart the adage to stop and smell the roses as she made sure to stop and sniff everything. In addition to climbing every “mountain”, Sierra loved to cross every stream and venture as far out into lakes as Mom would allow her.

Sierra has joined Shasta and Sherry over the Rainbow Bridge. Although her leaving makes us sad, we know that she is in a better place and that we will see her once again. On her behalf, we want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers.
