July also meant goodbye......

July was a month of great fun but towards the end, we had a day of absolute heartbreak for our family. Sky our beloved Shepard; a sister, mother figure, but most importantly all of our friend, became very sick, and quite instantly was gone. She had a spleenic tumor that burst, causing a blood clot to her brain, and consequently was taken from our lives. To be honest with you, Jim and I never thought that it would be that hard to lose a pet, our hearts were broken, but even more difficult to watch was the breaking hearts' of our children, who had grown up with this dog, they loved so much. Even as I type this silly blog, I can barely see the words I write, because of the tears in my eyes. We loved her so much, she touched our hearts with her devotion, and forgiveness, when we gave her less then she deserved.
Here she is, in all of her glory...leaving a hole in our hearts......
