How do you say goodbye? I do not think you could ever be prepared to say it. Tom and I had to put our first baby girl to sleep. :( That sounds so awful! The day after we brought Adalyn home from the hospital our Mandy was diagnosed with bone cancer. It had already spread to her lymph nodes. We decided we were being selfish keeping her around for us and we did not want her to suffer any longer. She was with us for 13 years. In May 96' we got Mandy "Mandos" when she was 6 weeks old while on vacation in Tennessee 6 months after Tom and I were married.What we'll miss about our big girl.. her sweetness, her snuggles, her kisses, her bark/howl when she wanted our attention.
Soon after we had to do this a song of Kara's came on in the car. What could bring even more tears to our eyes? The song Home, Home on the range. Tom sang this song when we bought our first home together and moved out of our apartment. Of course the words were changed like Mandos was singing it to us. "...oh give me a home where I can rome, and bark n play all day" How silly this may sound to some of you, I know!
Mandos you will never be forgotten, nor replaced! We miss you so much already.
Hugs! It's so hard to lose a furry friend. I'll be thinking of you guys :)
