Dang-it!

Today has been a sucky day. I don't know any other way to put it. Colin and I have been growing more and more concerned about Taylor's health and talked about making a decision every night this past week. Each conversation ended with me asking, "Is it going to be tomorrow?" Colin would reassure me not tomorrow, but soon. Well this morning I just knew that soon had come. Taylor just isn't comfortable, she is extremely skinny, and isn't really eating. As Colin and I sat outside I just broke down, he was so sweet, but I am just so sad. My tears continued as I went back upstairs and got in bed, they continued in the shower, and now they just hit me on and off when I look at her. Colin went to get us lunch today at Taco Bell (at least I am eating, and I can't help craving a little soft taco), he touched base with Doctor Burns, the vet. Dr. Burns was not going to be in the office much longer today and we didn't want to do anything until my mom, dad, and Mac got to spend some time with Taylor. Dr Burns was extremely supportive and had been waiting for our call, he said with the amount of cancer in her body he was really surprised she had made it this long. So "soon" is on Monday morning. I am so heartbroken, but know that Taylor has lived a long, happy, healthy life and it is her time to go to Heaven.....yes I believe dogs go to Heaven! We decided to stay home tonight and not take our usual field trip to church. I am sitting on the couch loving on my sweet dog..so thankful for the ten years I have had with her. Love you guys.
