Our Lady

Our sweet dog Lady died this morning. Yesterday morning she was not feeling that well but was well enough to climb the ladder and go to our backdoor neighbor's house for a visit. By the time I got home from work she wasn't eating and would drink very little. By around 7pm she was starting to get a little wobbily and I found her in our backyard heaving uncontrollably. By around 10:30 I was having to carry her because she couldn't walk without falling over. I knew then that she was probably dying. This morning she was very out of it and wouldnt respond to us at all. I decided to take her to get put to sleep when the office opened at 9:00 but by 8:00 she finally died.

It was a horrible thing to watch and I really hope I will forget that whole scene soon but we are all very glad she is not suffering anymore. As I'm writing this post I am actually sobbing. I'm the only one home and I'm sitting here sobbing about a dog. Did anyone ever think they would hear that from me? In the few short years we had her she really has become part of our family. If you know us you know that we have never been good at keeping dogs. We usually end up giving them away but there was something special about our Lady. She was the sweetest dog and most hilarious dog we have ever seen. She fit perfectly in our family. I seriously can't believe I've become so attatched to that dog! Rebecca told me that there is hole in her heart and she just can't feel better. I think we all feel a little bit like that.
