Emotional Rollercoaster!

Last night was one of the most traumatic nights of my life. I was out with friends with Matt called to tell me that our beloved dog Madison got hit by a car and died (in his arms, no less). It was awful. I was a basketcase, to say the least, as was the rest of our family. Madison was the best dog any of us had ever had. She was so special with that one blue eye and one brown eye. She was smart, loving, cuddley, playful, energetic and everything else you could ever wish for in a dog. She is and will continue to be greatly missed in our home. RIP Madison.

So, at lunchtime today I got on the computer for a bit. Matt had mentioned that he had kind of looked around for another dog online, so I continued up the search. I wasn't planning on really getting anything, espeically so soon after Madison's death. But then I saw her. A 9 week old Shih Tzu puppy with a pretty purple bow in her hair. Quinten wanted to name her Sushi, and the rest of us agreed, so that is her name. She is adorable, and I know she will help the kids (and us parents) to not focus so much on the loss of our sweet Madison.



What a crazy day. My heart is full of sorrow, and my eyes full of tears still over the loss of my girl Madison, but I am excited about the upcoming chapter of life with our new little puppy (throw in the emotions of the MRI I had to day and you could say I'm emotionally wiped out). Life is so full of the unknowns and the unexpecteds.
