Yesterday took an unexpected turn. Autumn, our 11-year old sweet mutt, had been acting a little out of sorts – lethargic, not eating, not barking at the UPS truck. Our first thought was that her tummy just needed a rest and she would bounce back, so we waiting for a few days. Friday afternoon I just didn’t feel things were right and didn’t want things to get worse over the weekend and not have our vet around. The vet was concerned from the beginning, he took some x-rays and quick blood work and found she had cancer. I called Tyler to come over and we had to make the difficult, but best, decision for Autumn. Telling the boys was difficult and everyone was crying and loving on Autumn to say our good-byes. Until the end Autumn was wagging her tail. Tate had 100 questions, heaven is now a more real concept. We were blessed to have Autumn as our pup, she will be missed.
