last night, dad called
and let me know. our family dog, Baby, who we've had
for 14 years, was in bad shape. she couldn't stand up
on her own. so, this morning, i went up and we all
said goodbye. it was really sad.
we got Baby in 1995 because Megan (who, i think, was in the 5th grade at the time) made a bet with my parents that if she could get 100% on a test, we would get a dog. Megan had been having trouble in whatever particular subject it was and so they made the bet. well, Megan got 100%. (of course, later we found out that she had told her teacher about the bet and might have had a little help!) a few months later, we got Baby.
we didn't get to name her. she was already 2 1/2 years old. we got her from a kennel where somebody paid for her to be for 6 months. nobody ever claimed her later and they were going to put her to sleep. she's been a fantastic dog. and we all loved her very much.
in more happy news, i lost a few more pounds! (i'm down 11 now!)
