Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone

Today is a sad day in our house.  One of those two dogs who have lived here long before I got here, Sunshine, had to be euthanized today.  Put to sleep, put down.  So many euphanisms and no good way to say it.  Sunshine was very old.  She could not get up and down the stairs to go out to the yard to do her pooping.  She had trouble getting up from her resting position on your feet.  She sometimes was afraid to leave a piece of rug and venture toward her dinner bowl.  In other words, this was a necessary step.

The family is mourning her loss.  I'm glad she was here for Carina's family visit.  I'm glad that Cindy was in Ohio on her normal business travel.  Adrian helped Eric get her to the vet and I offered my ear and hugs to console Eric and Katie.  There was no Sunshine in any way today.

Oh, I am so sorry. I know that she was not exactly your best friend or anything, but I do know that Sunshine was a beloved member of the Lundstrom family. And she will be missed. Let them know I am thinking of them.
