Kramer

Tonight was a very sad night for us.  We had to say goodbye to our dear dog Kramer.  He has been apart of our family for a little over six years.  We truly loved him and he will be missed. 

When we went to pick a puppy.  Kramer was the puppy with the most personality and so we just loved him from the start.  Kramer kept that fun personality up to the end of his life.

Ellie had a really hard time letting go.  He slept in their rooms and kept the monsters away.  He loved to chase balls into the wall.  When Ellie was a baby she would let him lick her and just giggle like it was the greatest thing ever.  My heart was so sad tonight when I saw that he was dying.  Brandon took him to the Vet and we had him put down so he would not suffer anymore.  Ellie was so worried that Kramer would get to heaven and forget about our family.  So we talked about how if we can remember him he will remember us.  My house just seems a little bit empty tonight as I know that one of my “kids” is not here.  All I can say is that I am grateful that we had Kramer in our family for those six years.  His presence will be missed but his memory is with us forever!

That is a tough thing losing a small but great part of your family. What a great learning opportunity for your kiddos. I too felt comforted as a kid knowing that I would some day get to see my pets again.
He sounded like a great dog! :)
