Goodbye Lightning...



Today we are putting our dog Lightning down. I am surprised at how sad I am about this. Admittedly we are not the best dog owners. As we have gotten more and more children the dogs have taken a back seat but we do still love them bunches. Monday Lightning had a huge seizure that left him falling over and disoriented for 20 minutes. After some blood work and a trip to the vet it is most likely he has a brain tumor and this will continue to happen. This was such a hard decision but after seeing that seizure I don't want that to happen to him again- it seemed to have aged him even more. Ken and Hayden will be taking him in today at 2pm. My husband is the best man and I am so impressed at the way Hayden is handling this- with a maturity and a kindness that warms my heart. Goodbye Lightning...
