Sunday 5/3

It's almost like we're getting back to normal. Friday Ashley spent the night with friends and then did a few things with them on Saturday. I think they even did some extra credit Spanish project. She felt great! Saturday night she told us she felt really good. I think the medication...and the prayers...are working! It was nice to see her feeling good enough to be out of the house.

Friday afternoon, our vet Dr. Katie and her assistant, Melody, came to our house to put Katie to sleep. They were so nice about the whole process and didn't rush us through it at all. It was a hard thing to do, but now she is no longer in pain. We buried her in the backyard....in the rain. She didn't like rain because she usually knew that meant thunder and lightning...which scared her. We always knew with a bolt of thunder she'd be in our lap. 

Of course, Robin and I then spent Saturday looking for her. We'd glance at the places where she'd usually be and then realize she wasn't. Today after church I caught myself almost calling for her when I walked in the back door, which I always did. 

Saturday, our neighbors, Donnie and Lynn, brought us flowers from their yard and a sympathy card and told us they were sorry to hear about Katie. Our living room is now filled with the smell of wisteria, pionese and iris. That was so nice of them!

I will miss that silly dog.
