goodbye

Apollo
apollo, 11/6/96-10/22/07



emotionally, not a weekend i would like to relive.  it was nice to see everyone at liz's wedding, but it's hard to say goodbye.  especially knowing i'll be gone for a long time.



and when i finally got home this afternoon it was in time to bury our golden retriever, apollo.  he was very sick, so he was put to sleep this afternoon after dad took him out one last time to a lake and gave him an egg mcmuffin.  we buried him on the property of some friends of ours from church next to the little sioux.  it was really hard, and it will continue to be so.



but at least i have pictures of this little cutie to help cheer me up:

  1. I'm glad i got to see you for a bit this weekend! I would have been seriously sad if i didn't get to see you at all before you left.
    I'm sorry again about Apollo. My favorite Apollo memory will always be when we went to your house after cheerleading and he randomly peed on Amber, lol. :)
    Muah!

  3. I'm so sorry to hear about Apollo. :(
    argh, sigh, i miss you and soon you're leaving again! this is fast turning into my french friendships where I only see american friends when we're both in france or vice versa ... or just a friendship where I never get to see you :( i'm sorry i've been a bad friend lately! my parents are lucky to get 30 minutes of conversation sometime between saturday early morning and sunday night
    but i will call you before the 5th november, so you'd better pick up! :P
