This was meant to go on the blog a while ago, but just haven't had the chance. We had to say good-bye to our 11-year old chocolate lab, Sammy, the first week of September. He just wasn't getting around very well with the growth on his front shoulder. It had been about the size of a volleyball and it didn't really start bothering him badly until this past summer. He didn't really let it stop him much, because he was still trying to catch those rabbits in the backyard and still trying to race the neighbor's dogs up and down the fence. But the week before we decided to put him down, he could barely make it to his food bowl. Even though we didn't want to realize it, we knew it was time. We miss him still and it still hurts to write this, but we know he isn't in pain anymore. This picture couldn't really be any better.
And of course, the next week didn't get much better. We said good-bye to Grandma Grossman. What a lady!! We so wish Hannah would have been able to get to know Grandpa Grossman and the "real" Grandma Grossman, but we know she is no longer in pain and no longer separated from her true love. We miss you Grandma Grossman and will always tell Hannah about you and Grandpa Grossman.
