I’m sure most of you know by now that we had to make one of the hardest decisions to put our sweet Basset Hound down last night. We have been very emotional and as you can see I haven’t posted to my blog since Sunday. I’m taking some time but hopefully you’ll see a guest post on Friday. If not, I’ll be back to blogging on Monday.
Caleb was a huge part of our life and had been sick over the years and just recently went downhill with kidney disease. His kidneys were giving out, he wasn’t eating or drinking and it was time. I had bought a domain a long time ago for a Basset Hound website and I worked on that a little today. It helped a little to think back at the great times and even the struggles we had with him. Hope I’ll have that up one day soon and I’ll be sure to share the link with you.
Many of you have followed the story on Twitter and Facebook and we appreciate all the love, prayers and good thoughts. The Internet is an amazing thing. You all are so special to me! Here is a picture of Caleb to show you what a loving ‘baby’ we had. He lived 9 years and we were honored to be his mommy and daddy!
RIP Caleb-Nash Newton
I’ll be back blogging soon! Thanks for your patience and understanding.

My deepest sympathies to you and your family Angie. I know what it’s like to lose a loved pet. They are a big part of the family and it’s surprising at times how much it hurts to lose them. Take your time to grieve, it’s the only way. My best to everyone and take care.

So sorry to hear about your dog! Ed is the first dog I’ve ever had, and we can already tell he’s getting old. Not sure how I’ll handle it when the time comes!
Hugs!

Angie,
We lost our dog of 12 years about a year and a half ago, and it tore us all up. She was such a part of the family. How much it hurts is a testimony to how ingrained she was into your home and how much love she gave and recieved and that is a very good thing (the love that is).

Thank you all sooo much! It’s been almost 3 weeks now and it’s getting easier but we still miss him so much. He was a big part of our lives and it’s weird not to have to rush to come home and stuff. I still cry when I think about it but we also laugh at all his funny antics. He was a cool dog! Hugs to you all.
BIG HUGS, Angie!!!! I’m so sorry I missed your post about Caleb until now – what a sweet, precious, adorable boy!!!
I have been thinking about you a lot, though, and hoping that you’re healing.
