Man's Best Friend




Last night was stinky. I stood by the side of a good friend as she had to make the decison to allow there 15 year old dog to go to doggy heaven. She is a single mom of 4 wonderful girls and she tried so hard to keep it together for them. We all knew it was her time. I came home and reflected back to the fall when we had to do the same thing with our beloved Sophie. Shortly after we adopted our 2 crazy boys Sammy & Tommy.

Oh my. That is so hard. We recently put our 14 yr. old doggy (chocolate lab) down in January. She was a dear, dear, girl and faithful family companion. It was a difficult time for our family. We miss her sooooooo much!

Oh Dawn,

I am so sorry. We had to put our dear Frazier down over a year ago and we still cry. After our girls left the nest, he was our baby. I also cried when Tracy's family put down Jazzie.

I'm so glad you remember Mrs. Fleegel and her "Piffle". It was so cool to me because my Grandmother said that word all the time and Mrs. Fleegel was the only other person I ever knew who used that word.

When did you graduate?
