About six years ago, our family went to get a dog from the SPCA. We looked at several candidates. We nearly got a German Shepherd puppy, but another dog had caught our eye. A Border Collie who was older, about six years old. She had been passed over many times and they weren't going to keep her much longer. We chose to take "Midnight" home. She was a great dog. She loved the kids and they loved her. She was house-broken and she didn't run away when we let her outside.In recent months, she started to show her age. Her hearing was nearly gone and she didn't do much but lie around the house. The past few days, she had become very lethargic and was not herself. We took her to the vet today, fearing what we might have to do. The vet said she had a tumor on her spleen. Long story short, we had to say "good-bye." But we have lots of great memories.

What a sad time. Being a dog-lover all my life, I feel your pain. Dogs are such a wonderful part of the family. Did you read my Monday Memoir blog? I really believe dogs are sent by God to make our walk on earth a little better! Keep the memories. Thanks for sharing this special moment! (Go get another one soon!)
God bless your family mike.
