missing our buddy

This has been the scene at our house come nighttime...

Ben camping out in Olivia's room on a blow up mattress...because these 2 kiddos were pretty sad at losing their buddy that they've known their whole lives. We all were (and still are). And neither one of them want to sleep alone. Cause nighttime is when it's quiet and your mind starts thinking about stuff...like missing your sweet pup. 

I keep expecting to trip over him in the hallway in the middle of the night ;)

everything is from Noel Mignon Office Party kit

Journaling reads: It's been just 3 days since you left us and it's so hard with you gone. Our family doesn't know a time without you. I had you before I met Dave and you've been a part of this family through having kids, moving to different states, every holiday, you've always been with us. I keep expecting you to come walking in the room. Olivia and Ben miss their Schuby so much. We all do. You were such a great dog.

I promise I am not going to dwell on this in every single post. I'll be back with more fun stuff like new goodies I've been working on for my etsy shop :)


But I will leave you with one last photo or 2 that will pull at your heart strings...

Yes, Schuby's in that blanket. That's the blanket we took him to the vet in (and brought him home in). The kids drew pictures for him. And each gave him a stuffed animal to 'keep him company'. They did this all on their own. 


I can very well guarantee that this picture will still make me cry 20 years from now. Now go and get a tissue...and I'll be back later with much happier things :)
