Sad Sad Day

By: Erika

Today my Mackenzie experienced her
first heartache. It was such a sad morning
for me to see her cry, not really
knowing what to say or to do.

Our Chloe got ran over last night and died.
We did not find her until this morning.
We looked for her until midnight and thought
she would be home in the morning, when she
wasn't home we got in our vehicles and began
the search. And Jason spotted her on the side
of the road.

Jason and cried and cried!
We had both falling in love with Chloe!
She was such a wonderful puppy.
She had jut recovered from parvo which
is a miracle. But what hurt us the most
was that we had to tell Mackenzie that her
puppy had died!
She took it better than we thought she might!
When we began to bury Chloe, she began
to cry and asking why.
I know it's just a dog, but it was my baby's dog!
Mackenzie wants another Chloe that looks
just like the one we had!
I know that this is the first of many heartaches
that she will experience in her lifetime.
But it doesn't make it any easier
for her mama!
*****************************
On a much worse note, Jason is
doing a 4 month olds funeral today.
He died of SIDS on Saturday night.
The family did not know a preacher so
the funeral director contacted Jason.
Jason agreed to do the funeral and most
of all to minister to the Family.
********************************
So please, please be in prayer for us today.
We are all going to be an emotional wreck!

So sorry you guys lost your puppy. We know too well the heartache that goes along with losing a dog. K. had a very difficult time when Cooper was hit and killed. She still draws pictures of his grave and speaks of the accident often. We'll say a prayer for all of you.

Deut 6:5-9

You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.
"And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
