I am incredibly tired and stressed so this will be brief.
I have officially made it to Maryland, the state that I will eventually call home.
I miss Texas: my beautiful house, my wonderful friends, and all the memories that were created there. The drive here was long and exhausting (I will go into details later) but today I just want to write about my incredible sadness.
Today I was told that my 9 yr old dog, Ogden was hit by a car and is dead. Gary sent him and
Mattie to stay with his parents on their farm in Ohio until we can get into our new home here. Ogden loves that farm! He loves to run and hunt for moles and tromp around the woods. Well, the 1st day he was there, he ran out in front of their car and was killed on impact. I have never been so sad over the loss of an animal in my life! but Ogden was different. He was the first dog I ever had. Gary and I got him a month after we got married. He has been everywhere and done everything with us. About 6 months ago, we adopted a puppy named Mattie. She looks EXACTLY like Ogden and I was happy that we got her b/c Ogden was getting old and I wanted him to train her and show her the ropes. I had no idea he would be taken from us this soon. It was a tragic accident and accidents happen. I am glad that Heavenly Father let us know that we needed to adopt Mattie when we did. She carries Ogden with her and she will help fill the void left by him. However, Ogden can never be replaced. He is the best dog I have ever had/seen and I love him dearly. He will be missed terribly.
My greatest blessings call me Mom
