Dedicated in honor of our sweet Georgia Dooley.

Today has been a hard day for the Warnocks. We had to put our sweet baby girl, Georgia, to sleep this morning. She stayed at the vet on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, and I got to bring her home on Thursday afternoon. She was doing much better, but by Friday morning, she was worse. She basically had kidney failure, and there was nothing else we could do for her. She was our first dog that we got together.

I actually got Georgia for Brad as a surprise in the summer of 2006. We had gone to the local animal shelter to play with the puppies, and Brad had played with Georgia and another male dog out of the same litter. Brad really wanted the male one, so when I went back the next day to get him, he was already gone. So, I took the female instead, and she has been with us since she was 10 weeks old. She was a goofy dog, and we often referred to her as "special."

It was a very hard decision for Brad and me, but in the end, we knew we could not let her suffer anymore. So, today we will probably mope around the house and forget about all the plans we had today. If you have a pet - any pet- give it some extra loving for me today (and tell them it's from Georgia!).

Blessings, y'all!

Please say a prayer for Brad - this was his first dog that was all his, and he is having a terrible time dealing with her death. We have just had a rough couple of weeks, and it doesn't seem like we are ever going to get ahead.
