I apoligize if this is morbid or if it bothers people that I talk about it, but I'm just trying to grieve as I know how...and talking about it helps. So when we had Hunter at K-State and made the decision to put him down, the dr. that we were working with told us that they would put Hunter's paw print in a piece of clay, fire it and send it to us if we wanted. We chose for them to do that. I was pretty surprised when it already came today. Here's what we got:
I thought it was a very nice thing for them to do. They also sent a card and said some lovely things:
It was signed by the doctor, the student and some other person. It was nice to get these things today although it did make me cry a bit. :) I'm a little mad that our normal vet has not called us at all. Actually I'm more than a little mad. I just felt like they should've at least called and offered their apologies for not being able to figure it out or at least tell us they were sorry for the way it ended. But whatever.
Jim has decided that he wants to get another puppy. Portia has just laid around and slept pretty much the whole time since Wednesday. I was trying to think of why she has been so tired, but I think it's because she just doesn't have anyone to play with. She and Hunter were best buds and I think she's probably a little lonely. I assumed we would get another Irish Setter but Jim thinks we should get another Boxer since Setters need a lot of room to run and Hunter has tore up the yard with his "running path". LOL. So we'll see...Not quite sure that I want another one yet...I need a little time I think. Although I do love having cute little puppies around. :)
So that's it for today. Hoping to get some scrapbooking done with pictures from their trip and probably a few pages of Hunter. I'll post them as I get them done! Hope everyone has a great weekend.
