Saying Goodbye to Chipper

Chipper and Copper Christmas 2010

.

Today started out sleeping in late and walking into the living room to our little man Gavin voice saying I am sorry Nana for waking you up. Little did he know he was not the one to wake me up? His Trey and Mr. Warry took care of that an hour before with their discussion of having to put our 14 year old poodle dog (Chipper) to sleep. He was not in good health and we knew it was coming but you never want to have to make that decision. So we all agreed that it needed to be done however poor Larry had to be the one to take him to the vet. I am ok with it as I tell myself he is with Melissa and having a good time after all that was her dog thanks to her and Chelsea begging her daddy for him years ago. Love the dog but he sure could make a mess and cost us a pretty penny on new carpet and rugs. What do you do when your daughter is a daddy girl and between her and Chelsea there was no way of saying NO to those two? Our other little dog Cooper is walking around looking for him kind of sad. Once we worked through that we took Gavin outside to play with Trey dog Abby and boy did they have a blast together playing in the water and mud. I think he could have played outside with her all day and never get tired but it came time for him and mommy to go home so we hosed the mud off and came into the house. It was a lot of fun watching him play with Abby (black Lab)and now I am ending the day with ice back on my knee thinking wow Mother Day tomorrow and I am not able to see my mom. Last year we all had dinner together but this year everyone is all over the place so I will be home with just Larry as Trey has to work and Melissa is spending her second Mothers Day in heaven. I will miss her voice even more tomorrow but as always will take comfort in knowing she is with our Lord and Savior.

Happy Mother’s Day to all my family and friends love you all to the Moon and Back.
