My love, Toby.

Today is my dog, Toby's, 11th birthday, but this year, we won't be able to celebrate with him. 5 days ago, we had to put him down.

Cancer had invaded his bones and the weather was taking toll on him. He was the best dog ever and will always be remembered and always be loved.

The last picture I took of him.


This is the last picture my sister took of him. It's special because he's actually looking at the camera and he hates getting his picture taken. Isn't he adorable? I bet he's giving people looks like that in heaven to get some extra kisses and belly rubs. ♥

    Sarah, your Toby is beautiful! I'm so sorry for your loss.

    We had our dog, Rex, put down on Valentine's Day three years ago for much the same reason. It felt so awful doing it on Valentine's Day, but I waited until I knew Rex was ready to go, until I knew the pain was too much and I could tell by his demeanor that he wanted to be free of it.

    But the live on in our hearts, don't they?

I’m thankful for the ability to express myself through writing. I’m thankful for the people who support me. I’m thankful for health. I’m thankful for a home and bed to rest. I’m thankful for food to eat. I’m thankful for love. I’m thankful for life. I’m thankful for God, and the relationship I can have with Him through His Son. I’m thankful for freedom to worship.
