I said goodbye today

I said goodbye today to a member of our family. Blackjack was bought for K when she was two or three. She officially named him William Blackjack because she wanted him named after her daddy. Blackjack would have been 15/16 in October, but he just could not make it. I had to make the decision today. It was not easy...but I hope on this labor day I can remember it as a Labor of Love. It was one of the hardest things I ever did, but I loved him too much too let him suffer any longer.

On a happier note the picture above was take because Blackjack was so ornery. He had laid his head on a book I was reading called Redeeming Love. We all laughed because Blackjack had very few redeeming qualities and love was not one of them.
