June 2, 2009 will join only one or two dates in the history of our family that I consider devastating in one way or another.....
Almost 10 years ago, right after Rick and I got married, I went to Terre Haute Humane Society to get a dog. I ended up bringing home a mutt with a little bit of basset hound in her. We named her Lightning and she was so thankful to have been saved.
It took her a LONG time to not be scared of men, but she eventually had no lasting effects of her pre-Lindemann life. She adored me from the moment I brought her home.
Lightning was the most loyal, loving dog I could have ever asked for.
She took her last breath yesterday. 10 years after she was saved from being euthanized.
Rest in Peace little Lightning bug. I will miss you more than I ever thought I would.
To add a little bit of humor to the situation, since that's what I do.......
Heidi has been begging for a new "pup" since her friend Lily got one......
We told the kids, I was crying, RJ was crying, even Rick cried. Heidi was crying, then wipes her eyes...and says "Well, at least we can get that pup now."
nice.....I think Heidi got her compassion from me.

I am so sorry for your loss. If you really want a puppy, my friend Heather has some on the way. They will be smaller dogs and best of all-they're free!See you soon!
Aww....the loss of a puppy is a tough one. Especially those Bassets...they look so sad anyway. Hope the kiddos (and you) feel better soon and can get that new pup Heidi's been wanting.
