Pebbles

Well, we finally decided to let Pebbles go. As most of you knew, she was getting really old and couldn't get around very good. She was suffering so much we decided she needed to be put out of her misery. We pretty much thought she had cancer and when Buddy took her to the vet he said that it was. I just can't tell you how much joy this dog has given to our family. I got her at the pound 16 yrs ago. Pound puppies seem to make the best kind. She was a great protector and a very dear friend. When Buddy would be out in the yard working, she would follow him around wherever he went. We have so many memories of her and will always hold them near our hearts. I know she is better off but we sure are going to miss her. I know this was very hard on Buddy to have to take her. He did have a friend from work to come help him dig her grave. She is laid to rest in the backyard along with Rags (the other dog in the pic with Craig & Kristin) and our little Sophie (a Maltese) which we had to put down 2 years ago.
She was probably around 8 weeks old here.

Pebbles will be missed! She looks like a little stuffed animal in the first pic in the flowers. She was always such a sweetie.

Aw I'm so sorry. Maggie loved both of those dogs. I'm sure Pebbles is in a better place now.
