Nov. 16, 2007 - Goodbye Gomer
I had taken the time this morning to jot down some inspirational reflections on a passage of scripture to share here but, alas, it will have to wait. This evening, while my DH and DD were out on a date, a neighbor came to our door to inform us he saw our dog laying alongside the state route that our road comes off of. He walked me to the spot and sure enough, it was our dear, dumb Gomer. Somehow, he got out without us knowing it and anyone who knows about Basset Hounds knows you cannot train them to stay in the yard. I had to break it to the kids then Craig and Lenae when they got home. We’re all so depressed. I know he was just a dog, but he was the family pet. Thank you God for our "pretty smart for a dumb dog", Gomer.

No dog is "just a dog" when it's a family pet...
I am so sorry about Gomer.

My friend pointed me to your post. She knew I wouldn't enjoy the story (of course who would), but that I'd really like the pictures. Being the Basset lover that I am, I can understand your pain. It is never easy to lose "one of the family", even if to some it's just a dog.
Here's a post I did on my older blog of my Beauregard: http://chelescorner.blogspot.com/2007/07/my-beau.html
