Rest In Peace.......

Yesterday was a hard day. Snowball woke up and was not acting well and spitting up tiny amounts of blood. We decided that he was suffering and that we were going to have him put to sleep so he wouldn't suffer any longer. I called my mom so she could stay with the girls. Once she got here, I got in the truck with Snowball and waited on David to say goodbye to our crying girls. As he was saying goodbye, Snowball died in my lap. Lots of crying ensued by all and we decided to go to the vet anyway because he was still spasming and his heart was beating -- very slowly. By the time we got to the vet, he had stopped the spasms and we decided not to let them look at him and came home. The ground is so hard here as we have not had much rain all summer so we have not burried him yet but will be doing so today.
