I had to put my dog Fender down because he hurt his back.  It was the hardest thing I've ever had to do.  The next day my sister in law took me to Davis County Animal Control.  I wasn't planning on getting a dog yet, just to see them.  But when I saw Gibson I knew he was the one.  He's the dog in the picture above.

Gibson is a sweet dog that get's along with everyone, even the kids that come over.  Which is totally different than Fender, who I had to lock up when people came over.  Gibson loves to play fetch, and have his belly rubbed.  And he likes to cuddle.

Getting a new dog was the right thing to do.  My sister in law was right to take me.  It doesn't change that I'm sad about Fender.  It just gives me a little extra room in my heart.
