Sadness for the family

We are all saddened that today we had to put our beloved old dog, Snicker, down. She would have been 14 years old in June, which is very old for a big dog. She was getting senile, had catarracts, was extremely arthritic, was probably diabetic and losing lots of weight, and was just not doing too well anymore. So now I am down to one dog, Bailey, and the two cats, Garfield and Twinx. It will be easier when I go out of town now because most of the time Bailey will go with me and the cats do not need daily care. If Bailey does not go with me, she can spend the day over at Scott and Cheryl's with her littermates, Kassie and Kahlua, they get really crazy when they are all three together. Guess that is all for today. So on top of the joy we are feeling over the new baby in the family, we are saddened by the loss of an old friend, life balances out in all things.
