What started out to be a pretty relaxing weekend around the house ended on a particularly somber note. After almost 12 years, we had to say goodbye to our Maggie last night. She wandered away from the house late in the afternoon and was hit by a car up on the busy corner just a block and a half away from the house. The person who hit her left her laying there. (I wonder what it is like to go through life being such a selfish coward?!). But, on a more encouraging note, two other gracious souls actually stopped to help her; Will happened upon them while he was out driving around looking for her. Unfortunately, at the emergency vet the x-rays revealed internal injuries that were too severe and the vet said she would likely not survive the night. We had to make the tough call....it was afwful. The kids are doing better, but they were pretty devastated last night. We were up pretty last last night and decided to stay home today and take a "mental health" day. We spent the day going to Michaels to buy some supplies and came home and started a memory box of her. We'll miss you Maggie-tail-waggie!!!
