Easy run up Provo Canyon. I wish I could have gone longer. I had an appointment at 9:30am to put down our old family dog Skittles, followed by her burial in Nephi at my parents' property. It was very helpful to talk with my buddies, especially Larry.

The day was difficult, but it ended up being a good family day. We all felt it was her time to go and felt comfort knowing she was now free from pain. I'll miss her eagerness, joy, and unconditional love for me.

Hey our buddy Paul! So sorry to hear about the doggy. Not an easy thing to put them down but it sounds like it was the right thing to do. Hope things are going well for you and Karen and the rest of the family!
