An unpleasant evening

This evening when i got home I went to let the dogs out and i found Millie asleep in her dog box. Mr. C was helping a friend and not home from work yet, so when he got home I had to gesture to him why i was trying to reach him and had called his friend. Lil Miss C was playing and i didn't quite want to blurt anything out yet. Mr. C caught on as to why i was so upset when he didn't see Millie with Suzie. After some tears, okay lets be honest lots of tears were shed tonight and still are. We explained to Lil Miss C that Millie had gone to doggie heaven and was no longer with us. Then he had the neighbor help him and they buried her on Grandma H's farm, her farm surrounds the subdivision that we live in.

Millie was our first dog together. She was a lost dog that was at our property when we first purchased the lot. Mr. C had finally convinced me to bring her home with us and then we found her owner. After taking her back to the owner, he was looking for a good home for her, so he said that we good keep her. She has seen us through our wedding and first 5 years of marriage, our first home, our first child, our second child, many many good times and bad times as well.

One of the first pictures i have of Millie in 2008, we got her in the fall of  2007.

Meeting Lil Miss C.

She was a trooper with Lil Miss C. She let her do just about anything to her and she loved her. 

So glad that i got these pictures with Littlest C just a few weeks ago.

We knew it was coming, she was an old dog, but she just kept hangin in there and giving us the best. She was a wonderful companion to Mr. C, myself and our girls. She will be missed by all of us.

Love you Millie and thanks for being such a wonderful dog and friend to us.

Doggie Love

I have been meaning to snap some pictures of Littlest C and Millie for quite some time and today while we were playing outside, i actually did it.

Love our Millie. 

Sad to see them go, happy they will be together

Our friend's C & J M, have been living in seperate states since October 2010. He got offered a job he couldn't refuse and she was going to stay here until they sold their house. Well in December they found out they were expecting, so add that to the mix of everything and now they finally have a contract on their house. The called us on Thursday morning to see if Mr. C could help with some concrete work that they had to replace per the inspection. So on Saturday morning we all went and helped. Mr. C, J & one of J's brother's helped do all the concrete work and I helped with packing up the house. I will be sad to see C move even futher away as we try to see each other at least every other month, but I am glad that they will be able to be together, especially as she gets closer to her due date.

After we got done helping our friends, we headed home to enjoy that afternoon at our house. We did some yard work and enjoyed being at home for the evening, the doggies did as well!!

So far this is the only picture i have with both of our dogs, lil miss & Mr. C, plus we have the neighbors dog, who wanted in on the action.
