Getting Back to Normal

Life is getting back to normal around here. It was tough for the first few days, but it's getting easier.

We had the same routine for the past 5 months and now everything seems backwards.

We've cleaned up all of the blankets and bed and packed up the extra medicine and food.

It is nice to get back to how it was before. I didn't mind all the cleaning and care, but I did miss some things, like walking barefoot in the kitchen at night, having a clean smelling house, and clean bathtub.

Barb and Dean have been great, they know we are upset and have sat with us at night.

Christmas is fast approaching, maybe i should take out the reindeer antlers we have for the two of them and snap a few pictures ...

Sad Day

Saturday was a sad day for us.

After 5 months of fostering Chance the decision was made to put him to sleep.

He injured his back leg last night and he couldn't walk. He was still loosing weight, wasn't eating or even getting up for us any more. It was his way of saying it was time.

We were able to sit with him during his last moments and comfort him. It was all very peaceful and dignified.

He wont hurt any more.


Good night my sweet boy.
