Sad Weekend at the Scanlan Home

Friday didn't begin the weekend very well. I had to work and had taken Jordan to "Mir" and Papa's for the day. Jason decided to take the day off and get some much needed clean-up done around the outside of the buildings and the house. A very long story made short, Kesley fell asleep under the truck that Jason was loading stuff into and didn't here that the truck was moving and Jason ran over her back half. This broke her back legs and most likely hurt some of her internal organs also because Jason said she was bleeding. I came home early and went with Jason to take her to the vet where they put her down.

We decided that it was probably for the best. She was getting VERY old, she had already lost her hearing and I am not overly sure how much of her sight she still had. Our biggest worry was how to explain Kelsey not coming back to Jordan but I really don't think he has even realized that she isn't around. We went to Waterloo today to pick up a few things and I decided to take him into PetSmart to get a new ID tag for Katie since she lost hers long ago. Jordan did keep telling me that we needed to get one for "doggie too". He never called her Kelsey, he always called her doggie.

So, we are down to one dog and sometimes that is even WAY TO MUCH!!!
