	*3 Months:* Hi, my name is Lindy. I live with my mom and dad, Mick and Monique, in Pine Mountain, Georgia. I also live with an extremely handsome boy whose name is Luke aka Sierra's Lucky Starz. He's my cousin and my best friend.
*4 Months:* *Sometimes, I just like to lay around the yard.*	*5 Months:* *But most of the time me and Luke like to snooze on our super delux beds. You can tell mom and dad really care about our creature comforts!*
*5 Months:* *The reason we sleep alot is because the rest of the time we play like maniacs!!*	*6 Months:* *It's nap time again!*
*6 Months:* *Mom said she wanted a picture of my pretty ears... how's this?*	*7 Months:* *What happened to my yard? What's all this white stuff?*
*10 Months:* *Now that I'm bigger, I can give Luke a run for his money!*	*10 Months:* *Sometimes I let Luke have the toy...but not very often*
*I'm waiting for Luke to come out and play.*	*Hey, what's up?*
*Jolly ball anyone?*	*A day in the sun*
*My morning job...pick up the paper!*	*Luke thinks I make a pretty good pillow*
*This looks like a good spot to sun!*	*Hi!*
*Ready...set...*	*...GO!*

2 years 8 mos: Are we a handsome pair? You betcha!

2 years 10 mos: I'm pretty darn good looking all by myself!!

*Check this bod out!*	*Get off the bed....what does that mean?*
*Just 'cause Luke's got the ball doesn't mean* *he'll win the game*	*Luke and Lindy...two dogs on a "mission"*
*Phew! I'm glad the cat got on Luke's bed:-)*	*I just keep getting better!*
*Here we are in our birthday suits celebrating mom's b-day.*	*This is a great xmas card!!*
*Girls just wanna have ......fun*	*and....more fun*
*There's nothing like catching some rays in the fall*	*Men, they just can't leave a girl alone when she's* *sunbathing*
	*Mom, this is just silly!!*
	On January 19, 2006, my big brother Luke suddenly crossed the rainbow bridge. Mom and dad were with him as he left so he knew he was much loved in this life. He said he'd be waiting for us at the bridge and that one day we will all be together again.
*Even tho I really miss Luke and it's not the same playing alone,* *Mom and Dad* *said I still need exercise.....*
	*Peek-a-boo!!*
	*Wooo Hooo, it's playtime....ready*
*....set....*	*.....go!!!!!!*
	*Merry Christmas!!!*
	*Whew!! opening presents is tiring!!*

At the ripe old age of 11, Lindy started having seizures and her folks had to make the tough decision to help her cross the rainbow bridge. She is sorely missed!! Just this side of heaven is a place called the Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to the Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor, those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together...... Author Unknown
