Our Layla

We had a sad day recently...our 12 year old lab Layla had to be put down. We've had her for almost 13 years and its been fun to look back on life with her. As a puppy she was out of control! I can honestly say that she chewed EVERYTHING in sight!! She filled my void of having kids for a few years until the girls arrived. Despite her craziness, Layla was excellent with kids. As she got older she slowed WAY down and didn't do much except eat and sleep :) She was such a good dog! Unfortunately her old body just couldn't keep up. She had a stroke a few months ago and eventually she started to get worse and worse. It finally got to the point where if we didn't want her to suffer we didn't have much of a choice. It was so hard, we couldn't even think of taking her in....so we had Chad's sister come pick her up and take her to the vet. When we told the girls it didn't take long for them to understand that they had to say a "real" goodbye. There were a lot of tears that morning, but we know we made the right decision. We sure miss our Layla!! She will always be in our hearts. She is truly unforgettable!
