It's Been a Hard Day's Night

Today was really hard. At 3AM, our dog Lucy collapsed and couldn't get up. Our vet told us that she might have a condition that would cause her to die suddenly, but without pain. She could have surgery which could either fix e problem or make it worse. We decided to err on the side of not operating. Liz and I spent many hours today crying and caring for her. Our friends Diana, Bon, Alexqndra, and Diane came to say goodbye. Here's a picture of Alexandra and Lucy.

But as the day went on, Lucy gained strength. She started doing some shaky walking, and then more normal walking. I wouldn't say she's back to normal, but we are starting to hope that she'll live through this!
