Archie..... Foot Prints in the Sand

A few days ago I opened an envelope that came in the mail and in it was a picture of Archie our dog. I couldn't stop the tears as I looked at our sweet boy and then read that he went to heaven in May, he was 15 years old.  After seeing it was Archie in the picture, the thing that stood out so much to me was his foot prints in the sand.  And I feel there is a message to us from Archie in it, because it just brought to mind the "Foot Prints in the Sand" story.
   We had to give Archie up about 7 years ago, it was just too much to care for him and we wanted him to get the attention and love that he so needed and deserved, which we were no longer able to give him like we used to. While I was sad to let him go, I knew it was best for him and us, but Keith had the hardest time letting Archie go, it devastated him, but in the end he knew it was the best thing to do for Archie and knowing Archie would be placed in a loving home with owners who could shower him with lots of attention and love helped him to let go.
  Archie's adopted family posted updates on him on the Lab rescue site, so we still felt connected to him and loved reading and seeing how happy he was and they were to have Archie in their life. 
   This is the picture they just sent with a card to let us know how much they loved Archie and what a good boy he was. They told us that they knew he was such a good dog because he must have been loved so much by us and had a good home and family, they thanked us for the gift of Archie.

Oh Laura.... I am so sorry to hear about Archie. I have thought of him often over the years. You and Keith gave him so much love and attention, and letting him go showed just how much you truly did love him. I love this picture and the footprints in the sand. How perfect. Thank you for sharing.

Love,
Holly

I am so sorry to hear about Archie, I am sure Sherman has greeted him up in Heaven and they can play together again.
