It broke 90 degrees today and this was the day I needed to dig a grave for my beloved pet dog. She evidently had a stroke last night and passed away in her sleep. It was a very sad discovery for my family this morning.
To be honest, I’ve been down in the dumps all morning. She was a great dog – got her as a puppy from a neighbor and she’s been with us for 11 wonderful years. She was our New Millenium puppy, born in January 2000 and we called her “Milly.”
I can’t quite bring myself to dig the grave yet. I think I’m going to have to wait a few hours for the heat to break and then we’ll have a nice little funeral service for her as the sun goes down tonight.
