The Saddest Day of Brenda's Life


Yesterday was the saddest day of Brenda's life. Our dog Toby had to be put to sleep. It was a hard decision but we didn't want him to be in pain. While we were on vacation he lost a quarter of his body weight and went completely blind. The Vet suspected it was diabetes that caused the weight loss and cataracts. He was a huge part of our lives for the last 9 years and we have many good memories that will always be with us. Here's a little tribute to our baby.



Toby doesn't change much but Brenda's hair does check it out.







We'll miss you Toby!
