Sweet Yeppi.

As you know, Doug and I have had a rough week with Yeppi unexpectedly passing away on April 6th.  I think we will always be left wondering what exactly happened to her that made her go from appearing perfectly healthy when we went to bed to being violently ill and fighting for life. What we do know though, was that she was such a fighter throughout her tough life and even in her death.  She was the sweetest little dog and brought such joy to every moment that we spent with her.  Everyone who met her and spent time with her fell in love with her instantly and I know Yeppi would have loved all of our family back home.  She was such a gift in our lives and gave us a beautiful five months together of never-ending snuggles, kisses, and adorable "welcome home" dances.  In honor of little Yepps, I wanted to share a few of my favorite memories with her so those of you back home can get to know her like we did.

 It was love at first sight.  We couldn't stop thinking about her after our first volunteer trip to the shelter.

Bringing Yeppi home and finding out that she loves running around the apartment after a bath.

Taking many winter walks together.

Finding Yeppi trying to stowaway in our bags the night before we left for Busan.

Doug and I realizing that Yeppi doesn't like her winter boots.

 Waking up to this little face all wrapped up in the blankets patiently waiting for us to get up.

Settling into the new apartment and Yeppi peeking out from under the coffee table.

Coming home from work and scratching her belly on what turned out to be our last day together.

We love you Yeppi and miss you!
