There are things that happen that just do not make sense in this life.... Although I do believe everything happens for a reason , we may never know the reason behind everything. I just have to Trust Gods word Romans 8:28 and Jeremiah 29:11 ....Today I am talking about the death of my 16 month old boxer mix puppy Gracie Roo Yes she was a dog ( NOTE I WILL DELETE ANY INSENSITIVE COMMENTS DON"T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MINE!!) Gracie was full of life, she literally made the walls of this house rumble ... she was like an arm or leg to me cause that was how close she always was to me.. she would never sit on the floor instead she sat on top of my 100 pound chocolate lab Benny. She would put her two front paws in the water dish and attack it as she pushed it all over the house waiting for it to get filled, she would sit anxiously at the fridge waiting for ice from the ice maker she had so many funny silly things about her but most of all she loved her family and especially me,  she was my girl. Last Saturday morning she got up, went outside to potty, came in ate breakfast, played with Benny and then took a nap with me, Then a friend stopped by and she ran to the door like she was gonna eat them like always, barking her head off ,so as always, I put the dogs in a large cage I have set up in my laundry room, still room to move but keeps them out of trouble. It  was  not a minute later Gracie howled like crazy , she would carry on sometimes cause she wanted to be with me, but this was different .I went to see what was going on and found Gracie laying on her side in pain and then she died, just that quick she was gone. No sickness of any kind before hand NO WARNING what so ever!! I ran and got my husband , he was about to leave to go cut wood, he came in and tried to see what he could do, but there really wasn't anything to do. We called the vet and had her cremated , My house is so quiet and lonely without her. She put big paw prints on my heart I will never forget her.  A couple months ago she had a lump on her neck and with being part boxer we assumed it was a fatty tumor .. by the time we got to the vet it was smaller and seemed to disappear now we are wondering if maybe she had blood clots and one broke lose and killed her , otherwise she was healthy that is all that makes sense to me right now.

I wrote this mainly for my therapy cause my pets are like kids to me and I love them dearly. They are members of my family...   Gracie ROO ROO was a big part of my heart that is now shattered.

Rest in Peace ROO I LOVE AND MISS YOU DEARLY!
