We love you Cheyanne!!!


Today was difficult. We had to put our dog of almost 17 years down. Cheyanne was such a loyal and loving pet. She was great with our kids and all of their friends. In Omaha she used to follow them to the neighbors yard and lay down and wait for them to come home. Tryce has enjoyed her. He learned how to say dog and bark here lately. She had gotten pretty senile these last few months and as of last week she couldn't really control herself anymore. It has been a true blessing to have such a wonderful pet for so many years but since we are reading the 4:8 Principle, we have been able to feel joy throughout what can be a very sorrowful time. Thank you Lord for Cheyanne!!

Did Holly tell you I had been thinking of Cheyanne all day, and wondering how she was doing, when Holly called and told me about your day! I am so sorry! I know these are hard times, our pets are so much a part of our families.
We can't wait to see all of you this week-end!

That is so sad! We just had to put our family dog down the day after Christmas. It is soo sad. I love how pets become such a part of your family, but it is so hard when they go.

We all loved Cheyanne! We remember her good old days in Omaha when she was young and frisky! She is in such a better place now--enjoy heaven Cheyanne!

We need to come to vegas - it has been too long! I'm not sure when, but we'll try to get there soon.
