Warning: this is sad

Dear friends, I don't really want to write this. Even though I have always written entries on this blog for Ivy, it feels completely wrong to write without her. But then everything has felt wrong and off-balance without my furry friend since she left us behind for a better place.  She had a great life full of adventures right up to the last day, and we even chased a squirrel together (slowly, but with enthusiasm) during a visit to the park quite recently.  Ivy left us peacefully and gently, just as she lived her life: loved by her family and loving us in the simple and uncomplicated way that dogs know how to do so well.  Ben, who is 7 years old now, said it best: "God gets to have a turn with Ivy now." We will miss you dearly, sweet Ivy. Thank you for sharing your life with us.  I love you.

your Randy

Peepol gone crazy

I tried to tell my randy and lindsay that the carpet in my house was stupid. Nobody ever lissens to Ivy tho, so i had to pee on it. every day. for a week. 

so tonite they finally got the message and they went crazy and ripped it up.

I'm thinking about what kind of rug i shud ask them to get, but i get the feeling that tonite mite not be a good time to ask. just a hunch.
