Later in the Day

Thanks for your sweet comfort....

Earlier Today...We've had many tears... The girls are played in the back yard now... squeiling at each other...We've made cards for her.... Megan wrote that "Holly had sunk her heart"... all w/ dog bones....

And I had to laught at the last vet visit... Kerry went with the girls and the vet said "She's no spring chicken..." and Lillian said "NO!! She's a dog!" Ha!!

We burried her this evening... The girls sweetly put their collection of rocks to mark her resting place.... and covered it w/ fresh grass & flowers.... We had talked about her getting older... and knew she had heath concerns... but the events of today were heavy....

Holly slipped out of her collar and ran to bark at another dog... when she was hit...The quiet of bedtime has brought it all back.... It was just a really hard spot to be... horrible to see... and to go thru it all w/ the girls....

Tonight... The girls are just OK... tonight has been rough... they want to make it someone's fault... we are working against that... but there's a heavyness and loss.... Not long ago I talked w/ a friend who struggled as a nurse and if she made a mistake and someone died... A Christian doctor pulled her aside and said if it was God's time there was nothing they could do to keep them here... and if it was not their time... they'd live....

I'm very thankful that the girls did not run after her into the street... I'm thankful that Holly was not grusome and she did not struggle... she looked like she was asleep.... I'm thankful the men helped get her home.... and I'm thankful my hubbie came right home to be with us....

Thanks be to God!!ss
