Let's try this again......

The first time I sat down to do this post, I thought I was ready. Apparently I wasn't. We'll see if I can get through it this time.....

Thursday started off like every other day. I got up and put Kiah out to go to the bathroom, but minutes later things changed drastically from our regular morning routine. Apparently she headed out the front gate and was run over by a car. When Bret went to leave for work shortly after that, he came across her on the road......gone.

Just about a year ago we lost Kayla to cancer. She too was taken from us too early, but we had a couple of weeks to prepare ourselves for the end. This time we had none. We weren't ready to say good-bye; we're still not. Losing somebody you love sucks. It just sucks.

I miss her curling up against my leg when I sleep.

I miss her enthusiastic greeting when we get home.

I miss her jumping up on my lap whenever I sit down.

I miss the joy she brought to the kids and to our whole family.

We loved the time we had with you and will cherish the memories, but we miss you terribly little girl. You will forever be in our hearts.

    I will miss sneaking Kiah a tiny bite of food under the table. (I know I wasn't supposed to:) I cherish having had her at my house for a couple days. She was such a trooper on the walk we took and was one of the cutest dogs I ever knew. We will all miss her. Anonymous A

    Bret, Amy, Briana & Adam,
    So very sorry to hear about your little Kiah. We will all miss her, it's hard to lose a family member, that's what all our pets are from the hamsters to the horses. We feel so bad for all of you.

    It's been a tough week, but I think we are slowly adjusting to life without Kiah. Thank you all for the kind words -- they definitely have helped!!

    Mom,

    I miss Kiah SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much. Maybe we can get a twin that looks just like Kaih did and name it Kiah. At least we have good memories about her!! :(
