Difficult Day

 

Hello Friends and family
Today is a difficult day for Carey and I, A day we knew was coming but time can never prepare you for it. Today snoopy will be going to heaven. We have been so blessed to have her in our life. I for 12 years and Carey for 5. We noticed over the summer that she was breathing heavy and just thought it was from the heat. Then about a month ago we found a growth on a back leg. We took her in to the vet to get it checked and that was the least of the vets concerns. He noticed several things with her walking and breathing and that is when we found out about the fluid around her lungs and stomach. He put her on Lasik to get the fluid off. It has helped some but since we haven’t addressed the cause of the fluid buildup the weight has not come off enough to help her spine. The past month has been the most difficult seeing her sleeping a lot, not being able to go upstairs on her own and losing control her bladder.  She is just not the same happy dog and it is time, as difficult as it is for us, for her to go to heaven. We would appreciate all your prayers in the difficult time for us. We thank God for the time he has given us with her, she has been the best dog I have ever known.

We Love you Snoopy. We have lots of memories and you will be missed.

On a brighter subject since our last post lots of good things have happened… We celebrated my mom’s 70th birthday in august. I celebrated my 13th anniversary at Connecting Point. We went to two more Twins games at Target field. The biggest event in the past few months though was our 3rd wedding anniversary. We went to the Grand Casino in Hinckley, ate at the grand buffet, played some penny slots. We even won $50 on one of the slots. We also spent some time in the pool. It was a very romantic time for us and a much needed getaway.

Upcoming for us is a trip to Florida at the end of the month. We are going with Carey’s mom and brother to see the shuttle launch and also hoping to go to SeaWorld and Busch gardens if money allows.

I would once again thank you all for your prayers in the difficult time.

Michael and Carey Granica
