A sad post to write...

Tonight we had to say goodbye to our sweet Birdie girl. She was hit by a car and wasn't able to make it.

We had to lie a little to Cash because he couldn't understand why Birdie wasn't coming when he called. It was so sad and I have cried off and on all night.

She was a very good dog. She got on our nerves sometimes and would sometimes poop in the house. She would run off and sometimes whine in the middle of the night. She would play too rough with the kids sometimes and chew on their toys.

But she was ours. And we were hers. And she loved us. It was obvious. Very few things are better and make you smile more than when you come home to a puppy that thinks you are the most amazing thing in the world. That loves you even if you are mad at her. That licks you even when you ask her not to.

Yes, Birdie was a puppy. She was our puppy. Our special puppy. And now all we have left is an empty room with her bed and toys and memories of her and our family together.

We will most certainly miss Birdie.
