Saying Goodbye

My dog Riley was put to sleep tonight and I am SO sad! We had him for 12 years so I am grateful for all the memories, but it will sure be weird to go home and not have him there! My parents took him into the vet to have some tests and they found a cancer mass in his stomach. With his age, they weren't sure he would even survive a surgery so letting him go was the best option. He was such a good dog and I will miss him so much! I know its a lot harder for my parents and brothers at home since they are used to having him around every day! But I sure loved that pup :(

I am so sorry! How sad! 12 years is a long time! I know Jordan is worried about Turbo still being around when he gets back from his mission.

So sorry for your loss! Dogs really do become part of a family. xo.

That is so sad. It made me cry. I never had dogs growing up but now my two little dogs are like my kids for now. I can't even think about the day I'll have to say goodbye to them:(
