R.I.P.

On Tuesday June 8th, we lost a very special family member, Cosmo our 16 year old dog. We waited a little longer than we should have but now she won't have to be in pain or suffer anymore! Daren & I took her to the vet, we were there to the end, & right before she passed the last thing she saw was my face, we couldn't bear for her to be alone! We petted her, kissed her goodbye it was heartbreaking. That was only 1/2 of the hard part, the second part was telling our 8 year old daughter....wow that was rough! She cried, talked, & we snuggled for about an hour. That was the first time she ever saw Daddy cry. Shelby put her hand on my tummy & said "Mama, Henry will never know Cosmo" (ugh more heart break) When we got Cosmo 16 years ago in Texas we never dreamed we were getting such a great dog. Other than shots & grooming she's never been to the vet, we were very lucky. When we got Cosmo, we lived in Texas, I had no friends she was my only friend. She went everywhere with me. If I went to McDonald's & didn't get her a hamburger she would pout. Not only did she want the hamburger but she would only eat the burger (hold the onions, pickles, & bread please!) She was a little princess that's for sure.

Picture #3- (Top right) Cosmo has never thought she was a dog. In this picture she was laying on the back of the couch like a cat. Picture #4-This is Cosmo sitting up looking out the window, she was soooo funny!

Pure Cosmo!!! I've been putting off posting these pictures because it's sooooo hard. I'm pregnant & hormonal so of course I'm even more emotional, but wow this is hard!!!!!!!!!!!

Mindy our 14 year old dog! What to say about Mindy...she's kinda lost! All her life she's had her big sister. Now like the rest of us, something is missing. We've been giving her extra love & attention. I hope we have more time with her, I don't think we could bear losing another one right now.
