Living IN Canaan

"A Sad Day for All of Us"

Today has been unbearably sad for our family.  Our black Labrador Retriever, Humphrey, is gone.  We have had him for nearly 10 years and he was a beloved member of our family.  He was very sick and his sickness was destroying the base housing where we live.  It was one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to help make.  This morning he got so sick the children and I had to leave the house while my husband came home from work to clean up the mess.  It was so bad I was getting sick.  We are all destroyed and distraught.  This is the hard part of being a dog/pet owner and lover.  I miss him so much already.  His absence is palpable in the house.  We have each cried and grieved today and I am sure that will continue for some time.  I would love to upload a picture of our sweet Humma dog to add to this post but I honestly cannot bear to look at a picture of him right now. I have finally composed myself enough to make dinner for my family and they have gotten themselves together enough to eat something.  I am not going to make myself cry again right now.  My 5 year old said it best of all when she said, " Mama, it is a sad day for all of us." Followed, of course, by my logical 6 year old son who said, "Daddy had to do what was best for our family and Humphrey." 

What My Husband Does for Fun

I threw that scrap of red fabric away and when I turned around......He says that the 'S' is in a square and not a triangle because it stands for 'stupid' not 'super.'  I beg to differ!
