a sad day.

today we said goodbye to our dear, sweet scooby doo.  
on wednesday, we noticed that scooby was not looking good and that he had a lot of swelling.  yesterday, he looked worse and when brenner took him to the vet, the doctor told us that he either had cancer or a liver disease, neither of which was good with his symptoms.  brenner brought him home for one more day of spoiling and love before saying goodbye to him today.  
i hate that it was so fast. 
but it was bad and i am so glad that he did not have to suffer.  
but my heart hurts.  
losing a pet is like losing a member of the family, at least around here. 

he enjoyed several hamburgers from sonic and a final peanut butter sandwich on his final day to make it enjoyable.  and while the kids napped he and i were able to snuggle on the floor for a couple of hours, since that was his favorite thing to do.  
he was our one dog that never got in trouble, never caused us trouble and actually obeyed us most of the time.  and he would have turned 11 on tuesday. 
i will miss you, sweet scooby doo.
