My dad just called me. He made an appointment to put Emma down on Friday. It will be Good Friday. I'm going to go into work late, sometime after 9 or 10. I owe it to my mom and dad to be there when she goes. With Custar, my dad put him down when I was in school, understandable since I was 9. But he had a broken hip. Emma is somewhat alright for being 15. But she is having accidents and it is time. We can't hold onto her longer than she should. It's not fair for her. She doesn't deserve that. She was such a great companion to both my mom and dad, and I know it's going to be really hard for my dad because that is one less thing that he will have bonding with my mom. The memories and the cottage. He gave me a picture of my mom and I standing in front of our house in Lewiston and I'm holding Emma the day we got her. I love it.
I'm going up to the cottage now to see my dad and Emma. We have some work to do up there and he wants her to have one last day up there.
