After enduring endless puddles on our carpet, Peter & I have (finally) decided it was time to let Shy(our beagle) go. This is a choice I arrived at several months ago, however, since she is Peter's dog he had to make the final decision. We originally planned for spring break but he talked himself out of it. They have been together about 9 years & of course this was a very difficult decision for Peter to make. She is about 11 years old & twice as heavy than she should be. We have also suspected she has diabetes but lack the finances to pursue that avenue. Overall, I believe we are making the right decision. Shy is a very sweet dog & will be missed. She is scheduled to be put down this Wednesday at 5pm. Please keep Peter in your thoughts, this is going to be extremely difficult him.
On a happier note, I am very excited to see everyone next weekend. I am very pleased I will get to see you, Katie. Hopefully, we will have a new family member by then!

I will keep Shy and Peter in my thoughts. Clearly, this was a difficult decision for Peter. It will impact everyone; including Buddy. Buddy is getting up there in years and may have a tough time for awhile after Shy is gone. You have to be the strong person in this instance. I will be thinking of you too. And Jacob. I am sure Jacob will be full of questions.
We'll be thinking of you guys....Shy and Buddy brought you together...it will be difficult to follow through .....

Beth, I'm so sorry to hear about Shy. And I'm sorry I hadn't checked the blog in time to offer my condolences face to face this past weekend.
I hope that the three of you (four, with Buddy) are coping with the loss of sweet Shy. She was a good dog, and I'm sure she appreciated the care and love you provided for her.
