A Hard Lesson for a 5 Year Old

While I was pregnant with Jordan, I would lay on the couch and Katie would come over and lay her head on my tummy like she was listening to Jordan move. Nobody can tell me that there isn't something true about a boy and his dog.

From the very beginning Katie has been Jordan's snuggle, playmate, and protector!

Occasionally we would hear a scream come from Jordan after Katie had stolen food from him, sometimes right out of his hands or off his plate, but seconds later they were back to playing again.

On the first day of school, the pictures weren't complete until Katie was in them also.

Tonight is a sad night for Jordan.

Katie ran into the road and was hit by a truck. Unfortunately daddy was out of town on a business trip so Jordan had to go with me to take Katie to the vet, but it was to late. She had way to much damage inside and most likely died before we even left the driveway. From the time we left the vet's office until we got home my little boy cried for his doggie, even the offer of someday maybe getting a different doggie didn't help. He is sleeping with his "Kakie's" collar tonight and wanted to look at all the pictures of him with his "Kakie".

I know that it will get better, but this is one sad mommy tonight. Not because we lost a great dog, which she was, but because my little boy is so sad and there is nothing I can do about it.

So, give all the little ones hugs, yes even the dogs!
