Goodbye Daisy


After 13 years of being with us nearly everywhere we went, we finally had to part with our lab, Daisy.  She was Matt's first Christmas present from Ashlee.  She hadn't been able to hunt the last two years because she didn't have the stamina, and two weeks ago she was at the point where she could hardly stand up.  We always said we wouldn't make her suffer, but it was a very hard day for everyone, especially Matt.  We took this picture of Daisy with the boys before we told them what was happening.  (Hence the smiles.)  The good thing is that we have so many great memories of her with our family, so we can look back with lots of smiles.  We will miss her.
