A little over four years ago, Brandon and I purchased the sweetest little black lab puppy in the pet store. She was our first baby! As the kids came, so did the ear pulling, jumping, and tail grabbing. Bleu was always very tolerant, but never really loved kids if I'm being honest with myself.
Today, Bleu snapped. She bit a friend of mines' little boy in the face because he was following her around. Thank goodness it didn't require stitches, but it was significant enough to aid in our very difficult decision to find her a new home without young children to pester her... This evening we found such a home! A couple on a 40 acre farm.:) The man just lost his yellow hunting lab last month and needed a good new dog - Bleu was that dog. It was horrible saying goodbye. I've never seen Bailey (or Brandon and I for that matter) cry so hard. It's been a tough day, and before I could end it, I wanted to pay tribute to our beautiful lab Bleu, who has been a member of our family for four years, and will always be in our hearts. We love you and miss you Bleu.

That's so sad! I'm so sorry! I don't know what it is with animals and little kids. Both the family dog, Sneakers, and our cat, Rachel, literally run when little kids come around. :(
ReplyDeleteSo sad! Kaden loved watching her out the back door when we would come over to your house. (Thanks again for doing that in AZ. It was a lot of fun for me!)
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry! When we had to put Bojeski down it was the hardest day of my life! They are part of the family!
ReplyDeleteOkay Erin, you know how I feel about dogs and such and really usually could care less b/c I don't get it...but watching your slide show of bleu with your kids I just cried! Soooooo sad! I am happy you found her a good home!
ReplyDeleteMiss ya! Love, Brandi
Oh my goodness! This is a tear jerker! I am so sad bleu is gone...you are so strong for doing that. I am sure that you guys know best. Whoa...and can we talk about all of the interior design?! Come to my house please...I think you said you had done everything in 3 1/2 weeks...we have lived here a year and still do not have pictures hung. You are truly amazing and I love the preschool room too! How do you do it all?! I think I will go and take a nap right now just thinking about it. No wonder I do not get anything done.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sad story! You made a good decision, but I can't imagine dealing with the emotions of the kids. That must have been heart wrenching! Our hearts go our to your family!
