Gatsby

Last week was one of the worst weeks of our lives...that may sound dramatic but honestly it was. I totally underestimated the pain the people felt when they lost one of their pets. ITS HARD

With out going into details we knew that we had limited time with Gatsby, and it was so hard to sit there and know this...while watching him decline daily....at the same time it was so nice to be able to spoil him with a gazillion treats and cuddles.

Thursday we had to say good bye to the sweetest dog I knew... Gatsby.

I remember the day I met Gatsby, Scott and I hadn't been dating very long and I came to his house to pick him up... as I knocked on the door I heard this strong scary bark only to be greeted by this big loving dog who was jumping all over me...and so excited to see me....from the day on Gatsby and I had a special relationship... I think it all started when I began feeding him  :) He was so protective of me, and would sleep next me EVERY.SINGLE.NIGHT...right up until the last night he was with us.


I had only been Gatsby's Mom for 4 years...But I'm not sure I will never meet a dog with his sweet sweet demeanor. He was so Patient with Kylie, and will be greatly missed by his "little sister"

I never wanted to know what it was going to be like when we had to say good bye, Scott has had Gatsby for half of his life...and I knew it wasn't going to be easy. Scott is a pretty "tough guy" who doesn't really show his emotions often...but when it came to Gatsby....that was his first baby...and there was no holding back.... it was so hard to watch my two guys so sad.

The house is not the same with out him and we will think of him every day. I will miss him "asking" me to go to bed every night, and seeing him peek through the window when our car pulled up to the house.

We love and Miss you MR G, Getters, Getter Peters, Bubba Buddy.
