Smokey

McKenzie came home and layed on the floor with Smokey.

Michael and Austen and Mariyah spent the day with him.




This was Smokey when he was a couple of months old and Mikey was Sixteen months.



Tonight I sit here with tears in my eyes as I do this post. Our dog Smokey had to be put to sleep tonight. We have had him for 12 and half years, we got him when Mikey was one year old. He was Mikeys dog but also all of ours. I have to tell you I have had lots of dogs in my life and had to have them all put to sleep when the time came but seeing my children tonight was definitely harder. I felt like my heart was breaking. Mikey and Michael dug a grave for him in our back yard and when we got back from the Vet my Mikey with his Uncle Karl and his Dad buried him. Then we said a prayer and put him to rest. It was very hard but I know that he is not in any pain anymore and we will see him again. We loved him very much, he was a great dog and will definitely be missed. We love you Smoke Dog!!!!

Little Mickey is so cute. I am not a huge animal lover, but we did have a bird growing up that died and we were all very sad. Sorry about your loss.
