The dog I grew up with is being put to sleep today.
Such a good dog who I loved so much.
He had a great life laying in the sun surrounded by all of Mom's pretty flowers.
He will be missed.
I'm stealing this quote from my friend Brooke's blog:
"Such a short little lives our pets have to spend with us, and they spend most of it waiting for us to come home each day. It is amazing how much love and laughter they bring into our lives and even how much closer we become with each other because of them."
I can't help but reflect on my childhood and thank God for such an amazing environment to grow up in. So many evenings spent with Buddy (or Sadie or Patches) laying in the yard, Mom watering flowers and Dad playing with us outside.
Happiness in something so simple.
