Goodbye, Mabel.

We said goodbye to our Mabel dog today.


We took her to the vet and discovered she had kidney failure and she was put down.


Thank you for all your kind words, we are sad, but doing good.

  10. I'm so sorry for your loss! We had to put down our 14 year old border collie last month. You are so right, it is so difficult to make hard decisions and be the grown up. :( Many thoughts and prayers to your family.

    Around here, we all cried for DAYS after our last two dogs went to doggie heaven (a year apart from each other). Shoot, I still cry when I look at pictures of them.

  33. I read your blog everyday....when you post. I have never commented, but I had to today....I am so sorry to hear this about Mabel. It is so hard to lose a loved pet. And, it is made even more difficult by the stresses that you have had these past few months. A move, a rental property, starting to homeschool....these are huge, huge stresses on your emotions. The death of a sweet pet is not easy to deal with even in a situation where you are carefree and un-stressed....so, cut yourself some slack. Take a day off of school, or whatever it takes to help you and your little ones deal with missing her. It will take lots of time to feel comfortable with the thought of her not being here any more. You need to feel free to deal with it as you need to....not how anyone else tells you that you need to do it. Trust yourself, and your own emotions. Grieve in your way, in your time. God will comfort you and help you.
    Take care.
