A Sad Farewell

We said goodbye this week to a treasured member of our family.  This is my oldest son's dog, Pal.  She was 14 years old.  We had to put her down due to cancer.  It was really hard, but our vet assured us that we were doing the responsible thing.  She would have suffered if we had let things go much longer.  Still it is hard to come home and not find her waiting.  I will miss her howling at the fire siren in town each day at noon and shuffling out from under the pine trees each morning as I leave.  We will miss you Pal.
