-today is tyler's birthday! happy birthday, tyler! i hope you have a super fantastic unbelieveably wonderful day.
bad news:
-last night our dog sadie died. we knew it was going to happen--she's nearly fifteen and has loads of medical problems--and last night when i got home the first thing my mom said to me was "sadie's dying." so it wasn't a huge shock. but it was still unbelieveably sad. i said goodbye to her and cried a lot, but now i'm okay. it's just that now all of our "original" pets have died. her and bea, another dog that died last year, were the first animals i knew from the beginning. i can vividly remember holding them as puppies in my hands when i was 4 or 5. sadie was the sweetest, kindest dog we've ever had, with no contest. this was really hard on my mom. we buried her this morning in our "dog graveyard" in the woods behind our house. it sounds weird, yeah. but we've got four of them back there now, and each of them has a circle of trees surrounding their graves. so it's also kind of peaceful.
-i'm sad.
