We're Not Complete

Daniel has always had a particular soft spot for our huge dog. If we are cuddled together, and she wasn't there, he'd say "We're not complete." He'd then call out for her to join us.

Well, now we're not complete. Last night Cadi started acting strange late in the evening. We knew something wasn't right, so Ryan took her to the "Doggie ER". When they did the xrays, they could confirm what we were dreading, but expecting. Bloat, Twisted Stomach ... bad news.

Ryan stayed with her while they put her to sleep.

My title there at the top says our family is us, the boys and our dog. That's what equals our family. Our house feels very empty today. Both literally and figuratively. She was just a big ball of fur and love! We miss her lots.

We're not complete.

I'm so sorry! I'll be thinking of you and the boys. She was so cute!

Alli misses her too! Hang in there. Alli says to tell you "You are in our prayers". She told me today that she said a prayer for Cadi. We love you all. Hope to see you soon.
