I was really trying to only post through Twitter this week…but this one I feel I need to post on. My Dad’s dog Trooper had to be put down today due to complications from cancer and surgery. It’s been a tough day being here while my family is dealing with it at home. I feel silly crying so much in front of the youth here about my parents’ dog but he really was like a family member to all of us. Heather posted a great post today about it. Suddenly I really hope all dogs really do go to Heaven. I miss you, Trooper!
We always had dogs growing up and losing them really is like losing a member of your family. My sisters and I stayed up all night with our sick dog, Duchess because we knew if something did not happen naturally we would have to put her down the next day. Mercifully, she died at home and we all took the day to mourn together. My sincere condolences to you and your family.
