Goodbye to Shadow

It has been a sad week for us. On Saturday night our German Shepherd, Shadow, died. We got him as a puppy in 1996 and he has been part of our family ever since. Originally he was Michael's dog, but he quickly became Joyce's dog and official protector. I couldn't even get near her when he was around. After we got Shadow we never had anything stolen from our house. We know it was merciful for him to go because he was sick and in pain, but even right up to the end he would wag his tail and try to play with us whenever one of us would come into the back yard. We will really miss him.

On another note, Joyce will go in for another blood test tomorrow. We are praying that her white count will be back to normal. She is feeling a lot better and went back to work today. We will let you know how the blood test came out.
