Sad Day for Our Family
Monday, April 7th, 2008
Today my wife and I had to make a really tough decision. 13 and a half years ago, before we had kids, we became the proud owners of a beautiful Dalmatian which we named Sadie.
She was a great dog, always very healthy - and turned out to be wonderful with our children as our family grew.
Over the past several months she really began to fail. In the last couple of weeks it had gotten really bad. She appeared to be in extreme pain, and would simply fall over walking across the floor - and forget about her going up or down stairs alone. The average life span of Dals is 11-13 years, and she had exceeded that by 6 months.
We had been to the Vet several times in the last couple of months, and there was simply nothing that could be done for her at her age.
So this morning we had to say our final good byes to our family pet and she passed away peacefully with me at her side. It will be strange and quiet night for us all.
I know this has absolutely nothing to do with business, but I have found it hard to focus today - it is strange how a pet dog can become such a part of a family!
We will miss you Sadie!
