Just thinking of you...

About 10 years ago, Matt's mom brought home the CUTEST black lab! Much to Matt's protest, his brother named her Scarlett. Scarlett is your very typical lab. She eats anything and everything, drinks from the toliet, takes YOU for walks, chews through seatbelts, sits on your lap as you try to drive, and will always wag her tail and give you slobbery cat box kisses! I'm not joking on the taking you for a walk thing either. Matt's mom actaully broke a bone in her foot taking her for a walk once! Oh, and did I mention that she's not one of those "little" labs...she has got to be at least 100+ pounds! Friday, Matt's mom had to take good 'ol Scarly (Parker's nickname for her) to the vet. She pulled a "Marley" and twisted her tummy up. Please remember that this is Matt's mom's dog. She doesn't live with us, I don't see her everyday, at most once a week. But let me tell you, when I saw her hiding under a folding chair barely wagging her tail at me, it took everything in me to keep it together. Helping Matt load her into the back of the Explorer was one of the saddest things I've done. I truly thought I was saying my goodbyes... Fast forward two days and a million dollars later, Scarly is resting comfortably (I hope) at home. She has a shaved belly and staples in her tummy, but she was a trooper! Thank you Banfield Pet Hospital and Dove Lewis for taking care of our Scarly! We don't know what we would do with her comedic entertainment!
