Blue Christmas

I really enjoy keeping in touch with agility people from our various hometowns, but it's so hard to read about the exploits of dogs who used to compete with Jake and Woody. Why are all these dogs still around and my boys are gone? It's so hard.

Coming up on a really hard day. December 23. We had to put Woody down. I had called the vet to see what days they were open. We had company coming December 24. Woody was bad. I didn't want to have to take him to the ER to be put down. I wanted a familiar place where people knew him. I didn't know how many more days he would last. So we did it and the next day we had to smile and entertain our guests. We never got the time to mourn and I'm still really mad about it.

So December 23, we will say goodbye to Woody again and celebrate Maggie's second birthday. Hopefully one day we'll feel festive about the holidays again.
