This is a picture of Dexter and Macy, two adorable, little Yorkies who were Lisa and George's first "babies" soon after they were married in 1998. That's 11 years ago. In the past year their health has been seriously declining, especially in the past week. So on Monday Lisa and George made the heart wrenching decision to have both dogs put down together. It was a very sad day at their house, and I can still hardly think about it without tears.
I have tears over something else this evening too. I just heard of the sudden death of Paul Ling, the father of my former 1st grade student Noah. He is one of the sweetest boys I have ever known with such a gentle, sensitive spirit. And his voice! He could sing louder than the rest of the class put together, and he was GOOD! His dad often brought him to school in the mornings and was so friendly. Apparently he brought him to school on Monday, then went to the gym where he suffered a heart attack. Thirty-eight years old!!! Oh, how my heart is aching for Noah tonight.

Losing a pet is so difficult and I can't imagine how hard it is to lose both at the same time.
I'm so sorry to hear of the death of this students father. It puts our little issues into perspective, doesn't it? I'll pray for that family.
Oh, my! I am so sorry to hear about the death of the pups, AND for the death of this young father.
How very very sad.
I know their hearts are broken about their sweet dogs. I understand. One of the hardest things we ever did. And, I miss Scooter every day...and so does Alex.
Sorry about your student's father, too. I know his dad was proud of him.
Wow Jean, so much loss! Your tears are understandable. I'm so sorry for Lisa, George and Sophie.
And, the death of a 38 year old father is so so sad.
Hugs sweet friend!

We just met Noah last week - he and Q are on the same soccer team. :( So tragic.
Another of your former students is on his team too, Caleb. :-D

Wow, Jean. 38 years old. So young! I am sad to read about that.
The picture of Dexter and Macy is adorable! It's amazing how attached we get to pets...they certainly do become part of the family. I'm sure that was a hard decision.
