Dempsey

This is probably the saddest post I've ever written, as we lost our Boxer, Dempsey, last April.  Dempsey was originally Tim's dog, but then became Elena and Al's, and then once we moved in, Timmy and Tyler totally claimed him as theirs.  He was well loved and such a good, easy dog.  We knew that his time was coming and did a little photo shoot with the boys.  They got to say their goodbye's on his last evening as well, before he went to the vet, but we didn't tell them that he wouldn't be returning until later.  The boys handled the news pretty well.  The next day, Timmy told his whole class about Dempsey and that he had died.  His teachers let me know how sweetly Timmy spoke of him and said he didn't cry, but had them in tears.  Dempsey is still in our nightly prayers and the boys say they miss him often.  He will always be fondly remembered!
