We Love You Tink

This morning, our cute little puppy Tink passed away. From her symptoms the vet said that is was Parvo. It is a dog disease that is highly fatal in dogs under 1 yr old and it results in almost instant death. I went to go check on her this morning when we woke up, and she was curled up in her bed, gone. She must have gone in her sleep. We are all very sad today about this. We loved our little Tinky! We would call her our little Tinky Winky, or Stinky Tinky. She was the most sweet little dog you ever knew. She loved to be held, loved her belly rubbed, she just loved people. She was so playful and had such a great personality. She was only 2 pounds. I am so sad that she only had 4 months here with us. Austin is having a hard time with it. He keeps asking if she is ever going to come back, and saying that he misses her. We told him that she is living in Heaven with our Heavenly Father and that he is going to take care of her from now on. He is just having a hard time thinking about never seeing her again. The kids decorated a little box for her and drew her some pictures to put in her "casket" that we burried her in. Austin drew his picture of himself with Tink, and Zoe drew Tink also. She always called her "My Tinky". When we buried her, Austin said "Bye Tink, We love you." And Zoe in her sweet little voice copied what he said. It was so sad. She just thinks Tink went bye bye. While we were burrying her, Austin kept asking "Why are we doing this to her?" These questions are very hard for me to answer because I am just so sad about losing her. It is very hard to keep a happy face on when all I want to do right now is cry. I just can't believe she is gone. We came home from our trip ready to get back to our life, and this was the last thing we thought would happen. We never expected this. Here are some pictures that we have of Tink.

Tinky you were a sweet dog and we love you and will miss you!
