Sad News

Well, last Thursday we found out some pretty sad news. Our little Oreo, who we have had since Jenna was about 5 has cancer. She has been acting sickly, and having a hard time breathing, and pretty lethargic. We then noticed some lumps on her neck. We took her to the vet and the vet confirmed our fears that yes, she didn't have long to live. Oreo is already "legally" blind. (Like, for sure wouldn't be able to drive a car or anything :) ) The only reason she functions ok is because she has Scooby to follow around and she knows our house well. We were really wondering how she would do in a new house, she would probably run into the furniture all the time. Outside, she runs into trees! It is sad. Anyway, we aren't sure how long she will be with us, and so we are treating her like a queen. Lots of extra love and snacks. Even scraps off our plates!

I am including an email that my neice Madison wrote to Jenna. They are 13 hours apart and absolutely BEST friends. It is very sweet! All the yellow moving smiley faces didn't copy, she had crying "smiley" faces. And at the end, she had 2 "smileys" hugging each other. I about cried when I read it...

'Hi Jenna i am so sorry to here about Oreo .(crying smiley) How is she right now does she still run and play with little Scooby. i hope your OK about it all if you need to talk to me just e-mail me and i will call you. k? (winking smiley) i would give you a hug if i was there so here'(hugging smileys)
