Dallas

Today my dad had to put our family dog Dallas to sleep ;-( Dallas had a stroke on Thursday and my dad took him to the vet today because he wasn't eating and they had said "his stomach had turned, and surgery won't help because he is so old" So my dad made that really hard decision to have him be put asleep.  I called my dad around 4 today to just talk and when he answered the phone I knew something was wrong, then he burst into tears and said "dallas is gone" He couldn't talk and I just wanted to hug my dad!  As I write this tears are streaming down my face. It makes me so sad to think that my dad's best little buddy Dallas is no longer here!  It will be very different coming home and not seeing Dallas. ;-(  About a year ago my dad had had knee surgery which caused him to limp a little, well one day I drove home and my dad and Dallas were walking home from the mailboxes and I could see both of them in the distance limping their way home. They were so cute together!  Where ever dad was there was Dallas right behind him.  I believe that dogs are truly man's best friend!
