The Sullivans: All dogs go to Heaven

You've seen the movies- I mean surely you've seen one of them. I'm pretty sure there are like four or something like that. Anyways, tonight we came home to find Sparkle dead in front of house in the road. (It's not a busy road at all!) I immediately stopped the car, got out, and started crying. I just sat down in the road and cried like a big baby. We've only had Sparkle since the end of November. She was Layleigh's "big" Christmas present. I must admit she was more of responsibility then I would have thought, but I still loved her so much. It's amazing how much you can love a dog.

Anyways on with the funeral service. Yes, it was dark, but Lewis insisted we buried her tonight. I said we must bury her wrapped in a pink towel because that was her favorite color ;). We wrapped her up, and put her in a huggies box. We put some pretty putanias that I bought today on it. It was nice, but sad. I had intentions of planting those buy the porch. I remember thinking today, well Sparkle is going to dig those up! But she's not :(

I feel like all of this is my fault. We never leave her out when we leave. I had to run to town, and then go to a photo session. I was already running a little behind, and Sparkle ran out the door with me. She loves to play with the other dogs across the street at my Nanas so I just left her out. Bad idea :( I feel terrible.

Well we must move on. I'm not thinking we are going to replace her though. I don't think we could.
