No yellow today - just a blue day.

Today we put down our border collie Annie. She has been sick since way back in July and nothing that we have done has seemed to help. Everytime I would think this is it I'm going to call the vet she would perk up - just like she did this time. He confirmed what I was thinking, she is not going to recover. We adopted her 3 years ago and it seems so strange not to have her here tonight. From day one I was her job, making sure that I wasn't making a move without her. The only time she left me was to go to the barn with Tom - she loved being in the barn and even then she would periodically come back up to see what I was doing. We walked countless miles together - it has been strange going without her these last few months. One good thing though, for the last 3 years she has had a very different life from her previous and I like to think we were meant to come along and make her happy in her final years. Back to yellow tomorrow...
