Ode to Lacey :)






So we had to put our first and favorite dog down on friday. It was the saddest thing. We think she got hit by a car but we arent sure because as far as we could tell it was just her leg that was snapped in half. We were in Lancaster when we got a call from a guy that is working at our house and he told us she was hurt badly so we drove home. Greg was thinking he could just clean it and wrap it up but when we got there we saw that her bone was totally snapped in half and it was hanging there with a bigh open wound so we drove her to the animal hospital. They told us that it would cost thousands of dollars to repair the leg and just to amputate, the lowest would be 980.00 and the highest would be 1200.00 thats if they dont find anything else wrong. We almost did it but decided she was just a dog. It was just so sad because she was fine eccept for her leg. She was just laying there so peaceful and calm. So anyway it was sad at the time but we picked out a new dog so our other dog wont be so lonely while we are gone all the time.
These pictures where from when we first got her so she is a little bigger now.
