Wow, it goes without saying that I was totally devastated that Keeno had to be put down this week. I was really hoping that I would be able to see him again. But that was a selfish wish and I am grateful that you all had the presence of mind to recognize that it was his time. I sure hope he wasn't suffering. I know that he was probably really comforted by you all in his final days here with us. JAco thanks for being such a champ. I'm sure Keeno felt your help and comfort when he was in the Dr.'s office.
It's crazy to think that Keeno was alive for over half of my life so far. I seriously remember the first day that we went and got him. It was kind of a spur of the moment thing. I knew that when we went to get him that he was the one and that he would bring out family so much happiness.
I remember him peeing on me the first night I slept out on the deck with him in that red sleeping bag.
I remember him totally destroying the hoses and the deck.
I remember him digging holes all over the yard.
I remember him knocking Jacob over when he was learning to walk.
I remember the paths that he ran into the ground from chasing the trucks from one end of the house to the other while barking his face off.
I remember him jumping and grabbing ducks out of the air.
I remember him loving to go for a swim in the pond by our house and never wanting to get out.
I remember him running away a ton of times and nearly dying of fright that he wouldn't come back.
I remember him wagging his freakin tail everytime somebody would walk down the stairs.
I remember him sneaking and sleeping on the couches at night and then slowly getting off when he saw us. :)
I remember him always being willing to just sit there and let us pet him on the head and comfort us when we were sad.
I remember dad trying the shock collar on himself.... lol
I remember spending hours just chillin with him and petting him.
I remember him bring me more happiness than anything besides my family.
I could go on and on forever. He literally was one of my best friends. He totally changed my life and the lives of everyone in our family. I was just thinking about how merciful God really is. The whole reason that dog was born was to bring happiness to our family. Isn't that just special? God really loved our family to send such a wonderful animal to us. We have made a lot of mistakes as a fmaily but that dog was definitely not one of them. I am so happy that he was able to be with us for so long. I am sure I will have a couple of private moments to myself when I cry it all it. But I guarantee that he is chasing cars in puppy heaven. Dang that dog is incredible. I can't even describe all of my feelings about him. \
Stay strong. Me and dano will be fine. Sad but okay. :) We both know Keeno is in a better place and totally did his job for our family. :)
Love ya!
