Heartbreaking Day
Today was one of the hardest days I have had in recent months. We have really struggled with what we were going to do with Asher upon our pending move. He is completely blind and 99% deaf and has recently shown some aggression toward the kids because he is frustrated that he doesn't know which way they are going. We were hesitant to move him to a new environment under the circumstances and with a one year old who is in love with "Aaa-fer" we just weren't sure what to do. Ok, so maybe we knew what to do, but have not been able to take action. So, we made the heart wrenching decision today to have Asher put down. I am crying writing this right now. It was one of the hardest things I have ever went through and I think I will always wonder if we did the right thing. He was our "first-born" and definitely a big part of our family. We will miss him so much!

Oh Caroline...I'm so sorry. Asher was a great doggy. I remember when you guys got him & when he was a baby when Nate & I visited you in Florida. I know he was your first baby. I'm saying a prayer for you. How did the kids take it?
Alyssa was very sad. Isaiah took it in stride. I am feeling better as each day has passed and several people have encouraged us by letting us know that we did the right thing. That is the hardest part, second-guessing the decision. Thanks for the prayers!
