Good Morning Hobbbitses!

I wish it had been a good morning. I took today off from work because I had to go and have our 13-year old black lab put down today. ;^(

We'd only had him for the last three years (he used to belong to my cousin) but it is amazing to me how attached I was to him. I brought him to the vet at 9:30am. They asked if I wanted to go in the room with him and I said yes. So we were sitting in there and he kept looking at me and wondering what was happening. Then the doctor and nurse came in and they were very nice. The nurse started hugging him up near his neck and the doctor gave him a massive injection of anesthesia. Halfway through the shot Jake couldn't stand anymore and by the end of the shot he was gone. ;'^(

You know I love being married and having kids, but sometimes I don't like parts of my job description.

On a lighter note I am taking my daughter, niece, and father-in-law to see FOTR tomorrow afternoon. My father-in-law has not seen it yet so I am looking forward to seeing his reaction to PJ's vision. I am also hoping that tomorrow's viewing helps with what happened today.

I am sorry to hear about your loss. I can relate how attatched you can get to a pet, and how hard it is to say goodbye to them. Been there too recently myself. Hope your day gets better though.

So sorry about your lab. I have an old black lab myself, and I know that it will not be a real long time until I have to do the same. He waits for you at the Rainbow Bridge!
