Our Day...and a sad ending


































We had the family here today for a birthday dinner for Chris ( a few days late)- and also to all be together with Tina before her surgery tomorrow. Brian was unable to come because of his work schedule but he will see his mom tomorrow, I'm sure.

We all felt guilty to be able to eat all that good food and Tina only able to be on clear liquids! :( We'll have to make it up to her when this is all over.

She has to be at the hospital at 11:00 tomorrow and the surgery will be a couple hours after that. Charles and I, her husband Marc and daughter Alli will be there for sure-and maybe the boys.

Here are some pics of our day.

**We missed Brian!**

The very sad ending to this day was that I finally had to let my little dog Sadie go.
I lacked the courage- far too long - but late today I realized it was time...way passed
time...

I told my husband to please just get her to a vet in the morning before I woke up. He said he'd do it now...would be better not to wait and let her suffer through another night... And, although my heart was breaking I had to agree... It was the only choice!
( He knew a vet to call )

I won't dwell on this after this post . I will just say that this was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do...to make the decision to end the life of a pet. I loved the little girl...I had, so, hoped she could get better...

Goodbye, little Sadie girl.






Love,

Junie

  1. Oh, I'm so sorry, Junie, about poor little Sadie. I'm glad she's not suffering any more, but I know you will miss her so much. My heart hurts for you.

    I will be thinking of you all tomorrow and hoping for things to go smoothly with Tina's surgery.

    Take care, and stay safe.

    I'm bawling! It's so difficult to say goodbye to our furbabies!! They love us so, unconditionally.

    Glad to hear that you had a good time other than saying goodbye...and ya, after the liquid diet, you'll have t make it up to her!!

    Drop by when you can, I haven't seen you visiting in a long time.
