In memory of Bandit. . .





Today I lost my best friend. Bandit was such a great dog and will truly be missed. He lived to be about 13 1/2 years old and I couldn't be more thankful for the many years I had with him. He died peacefully and it was honestly one of the hardest decisions my family has ever had to make. I actually can't believe how upset I am. . . I know he is in a much better place but things aren't the same without him. We love you Bee Boppin' Bandit Bjarnson!

Beans! Tables and chairs! Kibbles and bits! Eat-a-banana! He knows we are thinking of him, and he is watching over us. A dog has never received more love from a family than our little baby boy! Love you guys, and Happy Birthday Shawn!!

I am so sorry to hear about poor Bandit. What a lucky pup he must have been. We have a couple of doggies that are getting pretty old too and I am so sad for that day to come.
Oh and Happy Birthday!

How sad!!! I remember Bandit from when we were young!!! I was scared to death of him. I know what it's like losing a dog and it's soooooo sad! It's really like losing a family member.

Shawnee! I'm excited to say hi to you, but sad to hear about Bandit. It's weird to think that he's old enough to go. I feel like he was young when we were in high school. That means we're getting old too! Hope other than bandit you're doing good. I miss you and when Jess gets back from NYC we really need to make an excuse to get together!

Oh Bandit!
Oh my goodness! I loved him. I remember running around with him in your room when we were just wee little ones. :) He had such a good life and am sure he will be missed.
