A Sad Day in Homedale ID

It is nice sometimes to live in a small town where you get to know everybody and watch their kids grow. I am originally from Chicago and have been here 37 years. The last 11 of those were spent working in Homedale. I met so many neat people and got to watch their kids become teens and adults. Yesterday one of those kids had his life cut short. And now his brother will have to live with killing his brother. My heart aches for his mom and dad. So much to deal with. The town is in shock. My ex boss was related to these people and his son was friends with Conner. My heart aches for him having to experience something like this at such a young age. And than you go down the road 4 miles to Wilder and another family is grieving the loss of their young son to alcoholic poisoning. Yesterday and everyday is a day to remember to give your loved ones a hug and tell them you love them. You just never know.

So Long Little Ones

Well two of my little guys went to their new home tonite. I gave my granddaughter hers.(see the picture above), His name will be Snoopy and that is what is on his shirt. The other one is going to her Aunt's. His name is Rowdy. They will be spending a lot of time together which will be good. The other two, one is going to my friend's and I am keeping one. Even though I know they are going to good homes I still felt like I was letting my kid go. But I will see them often. So a happy ending for my little guys. Oh and my son is thrilled with the pup and drove me nuts until I said they could go home. Worse than my granddaughter. Have a good evening everyone.
