Bye Bye Shortcake
We lost our sweet little Shortcake on Tuesday Feb 24th. God allowed us to see her last few breaths. It was very sad, I had no idea I would cry so hard.
After she passed, we held her for a bit and made her a bed to rest (made from a Converse box, we wanted her to go out in style). I've been trying to figure out why i wigged so much. Could be that she is as old as Maye, or i enjoyed feeding her broccoli in the middle of the night, or her incredible inverted rock climbing skills. I guess God made me an over nurturer and to see one of my little buddies suffer just did me in! Plus, I'm an animal lover to the extreme!! This was my first pet since i was in High School. I wanted so badly for Finley to perform CPR on her (hee hee).
Now, you can laugh at these pics...they are both sweet and funny. These tell the story of her last night and of the funeral.

I TOTALLY understand being that way over animals! Someone once gave me two pet fish as a joke. Every day I complained about feeding them, but when my cats ate them, at two different times, I bawled my eyes out!!!!!! I'm sorry your little buddy died. But hey, this gives you a great opportunity to rescue and animal from the Fayetteville Animal Shelter!!!!! :)
awwwww : ( that picture of you three is so sad!
Is that a cross?
My in-laws are having to "put down" their dog today. I told Daddy-O that if Jesus is coming back on a white horse, then maybe wolfy will be running full speed into this world for us too. Imagine Shortcake and Wolf! If horses are there, then why not?
