I thought the movie Marley and Me would have prepared me for this morning...boy was I wrong. I teared up at the end vet scene, but I was losing it in front of my dad when it was happening this morning. I tried to keep it together for him, but I couldn't. He was pretty calm about the whole thing, maybe because he had done it before. It is up there with one of the hardest things I have had to do ever. I know it's life...but it sucks! We buried Custer's ashes with Emma at the farm. We had to bail 50ish gallons out of the hole that had accumulated from all the ground water. That made this whole experience much more difficult.
Emma and Custer are up in heaven. They both lived long lives and I was blessed to have been friends with both of them.
