mattie's last frisbee

Friday my most loyal companion Mattie Wade had a little cyst smaller than a golf ball on her neck.  This morning it was more the size of a softball.  I hate losing a companion, but I'm so glad to be able to make the decision to allow her to be free from pain.  Seems like we deserve the same respect and options. 

This pic was taken this morning during her last walk in our neighborhood. 

It's embarrising just how attached we get to a goofy little dog.
