Not a good day yesterday.

Never did get the posies planted. It took so long to get the area prepped that it was time to take 16 year old "Big Foot", (Coco), our miniature wiener-dog to the Vet's to get checked out and agreement that it's time to put him to sleep.

For some time he's had trouble getting around, often having his legs fold up under him when walking. Hasn't been eating well, frequently throwing up what little he ate. Confusion, where he would just stare at a wall. Lost interest in playing with Fuzzbutt. And losing his ability to be house trained The Vet agreed that he wasn't his normal self and letting it continue in his downward spiral would only be for us, and not him.

This is the 3rd pooch around Coco's age that we've had to send over Rainbow Bridge.

And I'll tell you one thing; It doesn't get any easier.

See you Bunnies tomorrow.
