On Friday, Sept. 4th we will say goodbye to our beloved Bichon Frise, Bo. He is 15 years old, blind, and very frail. He can barely walk and is shaky when he stands still. It's time. Chris and I have been through this before...first with Rosie, then with Woody. It's been 3 1/2 years since we've had to make this decision and it never gets easier. This sweet little dog has been an important member of our family for 11 years and he will be greatly missed.
Gracie is extremely upset. Yesterday, unbeknownst to me, she overheard me making the appointment with vet to euthanize Bo. She screamed, "I can't take it anymore!". I've seen temper tantrums, but I've never seen this kind of heart break. She was unconsolable and wouldn't even come near me. As far as she was concerned, it was my fault. She ended up laying on the couch cuddling Bo and cried herself to sleep. Today things are much calmer, but my sensitive little princess is very sad and "wishes Bo didn't have to die".
Mommy wishes it too.

I'm so sorry to hear about Bo. He was such a good dog. It's sad to hear about Gracie's heartbreak (and yours), but I'm so glad that you have raised a child that values God's creation so highly. To know a dog and love one is a special thing and that's a gift you have given to your daughter. Praying for you. I know it was rough when Rosie was put to sleep.
