We lost our poor, sweet, gentle Gladys on Saturday morning. After a very rough Friday night we knew it was time to say goodbye. She was such a huge blessing to our family and gave us so much more than we could have ever given her.
Up to the very end she wagged her tail when we were near and wanted to have her tummy rubbed gently. Paris covered her with a baby blanket and put little animals nearby to make her more cozy.
Having Gladys in our lives made us realize that we are ready for pets now. We visited ARF (animal rescue foundation) Saturday afternoon and met Moca, who has some amazing similarities to Gladys. We all fell in love and brought her home with us.
Paris has made several cards and pictures for Gladys already and , this morning she brought down a note that was a total tearjerker - It read, "We got Mocha wen we lost Gladys. She past away. We went to ARF. We saw Mocha. We loved her. She was so bewtifol. So was Gladys. We love Mocha. The end."

Oh Susan....I am so sorry. It kills me that you guys had to go through this. She was a total blessing and how exciting that you can add Mocha to your family.
The picture of Gladys with the blanket and animals was too much.
Hugs to all of you guys!

So sorry about Gladys..but so glad to hear that you have welcomed a new pet into the family, who will hopefully be around for years to come. Moca is adorable - is she part labrador? Labs are my favorite, remind me of our old dog Duffy..
