Chief

It's been a crazy few months around our house. First and foremost we had to put Chief down two weeks ago. He got sick with blastomycosis and even though he fought HARD the best thing we could do for him was to make sure he wasn't hurting any longer.

It literally broke my heart to let him go, but the hardest thing for Kolin and I was telling the kids. There is nothing worse that having 5 inconsolable kids crying their hearts out over a dog they loved so much. They, like us, just wanted him to get better so he could come home. It just wasn't meant to be.

Isis is settling down. She's pretty much following me around the house and lays down right in front of the chair I usually sit in. She has a broken heart too.

Karis is now asking us for another puppy. She's like HIM to be black with brown eyes....and she wants to name him Chief. She asks at least once a day, if not two or three times. Kolin and I told her that while we won't actively look for a puppy, if a special one comes along we'll definitely consider it.
