I am posting this light-hearted update as more of healing for myself than anything. We have been waiting for Dylan to realize that Chey was really gone for 7 days straight now. He's a smart kid, but with as much as Cheyenne had been in the hospital lately it was not uncommon for Dylan not to interact with her much on a day-to-day basis. This morning went a little like this:
"Mommy, where's Chey?"
I start to cry and say, "Chey is gone, buddy. She's not coming home."
"Okay, is she at the doctor's?"
"No, she is now a doggy angel. We miss her, but she is happy and safe."
"Okay, just Kobe now...no more Chey?"
"Yes, buddy."
"Okay, more eggs please."
I had to laugh. I thought I was shattering his universe, but I don't think he quite understands.

this is too sad. Even after all these years of not seeing you all, this just makes me cry. My heart goes out to you. We had to put Emily down a few months ago. What an painful feeling.
