Sad Update

On a sadder side. We lost Penny a few weeks ago. We got up Saturday morning and Penny had a small spot on the carpet that she got sick. No big deal, all dogs get sick. So we left her out and she ate some grass (good to settle their stomachs). She came back in and drank some and went back out to get sick. I decided she was done we were going to give that tummy some time to rest. She acted fine. We took Brandon to the high school to practice before the band competition then headed to the camper with the dogs and Nicole in hopes to close it up this weekend and the band comp. was at Mifflinburg. We hung out a while at the camper then headed to the comp. When we came back we left the dogs out and Penny and Bridgett went outside but Penny just layed down. Chris carried her back inside. She went into her pen and we went to the Davis camper to enjoy their fire and company. When we finally came back over Penny choose not to go outside but barked when we put her in her pen to sleep. She slept next to our bed and about 2am she started to yip and moan as if she was in pain and her breathing was labored. That is how the rest of the night went. I got up at 7am and went for a walk and called the vet and left a message. I returned to do some work at our camper (the rest of the crew was sleeping) inside and out. I sat down outside and realized I hadn't heard Penny for a while. I went in to check on her and she had passed away. I woke Chris and we were able to put her in her pen and out in the truck before the kids got up. Within an hour from calling the vet she passed away because they called me back an hour later. We did do some stuff to closer up the camper, but just didn't feel like doing much. Nicole really took it hard, that was her "baby" she said. Thank goodness for Dan he came over and helped Chris bury Penny out back with the rest. Thank goodness for such good friends. We miss not having Penny around. I am glad she didn't suffer anymore than she did though, and we didn't have to make that dreaded decision either.
