Andre Thatcher, 1997 - 2008

Today we lost a family member.

Most who frequent this page won't realize what a fixture Dre was in my life for the past 11 years. Just for perspective, when I picked up Dre from Judge Mcray in the summer of 1997, Vadra was preparing to begin her senior year... in high school.

I could post dozens of pictures and tell endless hilarious stories about this great dog, but its difficult at the moment. In all of the many evolutions in the past decade+ : roommates, geography, careers, marriage, kids, vehicles, injuries, successes, failures, there has been one constant, aside from the Lord Himself: my buddy Dre.

What Dre (very obviously) lacked in intelligence and training, he made up for in loyalty, occasional entertainment, and well... that is about it. But for that, I am grateful to have known him.
