We miss our little Poncho...




Our sweet little chihuahua Poncho died on Monday. He was almost 12 years old, and we have had him for 11 years. He was a part of our family--and we are missing him so much!


The kids are all so different in how they're handling it...Dustin is the thinker--he's very quiet and doesn't ask a lot of questions yet. He did let himself cry that morning...which was probably good. Jodee also cried, but she is full of questions and comments. She is always saying something about him, or asking me very detailed questions about what happened. Dylan really doesn't get it...he lets everyone know what happened in a very matter of fact way--no emotion with it or anything. I wasn't sure about him because he was really close to Poncho--and called him "Buddy" and everything, but I just don't think he understands.

Here is Poncho with Roxy when she was a puppy:
