Stan, last remaining member of my furry family.

Stan

Stan

I miss my animals so much. It hurts. The house is so empty and way too quiet, even with two kids in it. I miss the wagging tails in the morning when I get up. I miss playing with them, walking the dogs, snuggling with all of them. This was by far the most difficult decision I ever had to make.

Mayble, the last one of our doggies to leave us, started limping a few days ago. And that reassured me that I made the right decision. We could not afford to take her to the Vet. Luckily the new owners were really nice about it and said no problem, they'd take her in right away. Mayble left us Saturday. She was my husband's puppy, and he's heartbroken.

And all the peace you could never find
Is waiting there to hold and keep you
Welcome to the first day of your life

Just open up your eyes as I lay you down tonight
Safe on the other side
No more tears to cry

I am so glad you found a good home for Mayble. It is not easy to let them go to say the least and my heart goes out to you knowing how hard this is. Thankfully, Stan is there; he is absolutely ADORABLE! Love his coloring and looks so playful.

Hang in there meanwhile. Sending big hugs!

Thank you! Stan really is super playful, which makes it a bit easier for the kids. He is also super cuddly, which makes it a bit easier for me.

This is such a difficult time for us.

I am sorry that you are going through this. I am glad though that you have Stan. He is adorable.
