Sad news...
...within the past 4 or 5 weeks, both of my dogs have passed away. Both were bassett hounds, Buddy was about 9 or 10 years old, and Daisy was about 4 or 5 years old.
Buddy died of old age/arthritis in his hips. I went home for the weekend [the last one in April] & Desiree was with me & she asked Mom where he was after we got back from visiting my cousins & their new son [Uriah Ethan Johnston :):)], & Mom didn't say anything...he had died a few weeks beforehand. And I was not happy at finding out that Mom didn't tell me the day it happened. But she said I was pretty stressed that week, so I do understand her reasoning and concern...

Daisy, however, had several tumors. Dad took her to the vet last week, before him & Mom left for Charleston for the weekend. Vet said the tumors were cancerous, so they put her to sleep right then :(. Mom told me on the phone Saturday [I made her promise to tell me asap if anything happened to Daisy, though I wasn't really expecting anything to when I told her this..]. & of course I burst into tears...& then had to leave 20 minutes later to meet Justin for a movie. Anyway, now they are buried along the treeline in the pasture behind my house. It's gonna be super weird when I go home in 9 days for summer, & neither one of them is there. I really really hope we can get a new puppy or two....Desiree has already promised to help me petition for one:).
But then, Justin & I went to downtown Lynchburg & went to this place called Amazement Square, which is like a kids' hands-on museum [much like the Discovery Place in Charlotte, NC, but waaayyy cooler, we decided:)]. Anyway it got me out of my sad spirits, & it was quite a fun date. :).

So here are some pictures of my puppydogs, they will live in my memory for a while, I'm sure. [Daisy has more brown on her than Buddy, & he is gray/whiter on his snout].
