Scout became an angel today

Scout is playing bubbles on God's Farm in the Sky

Today is a very sad day for us. Scout went to live on God's Farm in the Sky.

Scout has been sick for long time from that icky yuck growing in his insides. The cancer doctor said last summer that Scout would not live to the end of summer.

Hahah, cancer doctor! Scout was still here at Christmas to see Santa!! Just like Mommy said he would be!

But this week Scout has been feeling very sick and last night he got super sick. He was barfing and he couldn't stand up too much by himself and so before breakfast Mommy and Daddy took him to see Dr. Hawkins. Scout was not with them when they came home.

Mommy said that Scout got out of his dog body self and turned into his dog angel self and caught the train to God's Farm in the Sky! Now he is up in heaven playing with other dogs. I bet he is playing bubbles with Jesus.

Mommy said Scout isn't sick any more and his pain is all gone and he is jumping and running and playing like  a puppy. She said he will wait on God's Farm until someday when we go to heaven and then we'll all get to romp and play together forever.

I hope the angels have a lot of bubbles. He really likes that game.

I am very sad that Scout is not coming home. He is a great big brother and I will miss not talking to him every day. But Mommy said that when I say my prayers I can give God a message to give to Scout so that every day when the angels call "mail call!" he will get a letter from me that says, "Hey, Scout, how's it going? We are OK here. Bailey is still being a stupid sister and I just ate some shoes. Talk to you later! Love Bandit!"

God thinks of everything. I am glad his farm is such a great place for a not-sick-anymore dog to live.

Mommy is crying a lot today. Bailey is spending a few hours at Dr. Hawkins office so me and Mommy can have some snuggle times. Scout was the dog who knew how to kiss away tears so I just let Mommy hug me lots. I hope I can do as good a job as Scout did at making Mommy feel better.

Anyway, that is what happened today.

Love
your sad pal

Mommy has an important talk with me



Scout and Bailey. Scout likes to play basketball. Bailey likes to kiss Scout.

 This week when Mommy tucked me into bed, she snuggled up with me and said she had something important to talk to me about.

She said that Scout is very sick and he is probably not going to get better. She said that maybe by the end of the summer, Scout will go to heaven to live with God.

Mommy says that heaven is a good place for a sick dog to go. All the sicknesses are gone. There is lots of room to run around and lots of stinky stuff to roll around in and lots of ponds to swim in. And at the end of the day, all of the dogs get to sleep in bed with Jesus. And he doesn't even care if they get their muddy paws on his sheets!

Mommy says that Scout is feeling a little cranky and that he can't play as much as he used to. So I am not supposed to try wrestlemania with him. And she said that maybe I could help Bailey not pester Scout so much either. Sometimes Scout feels like his normal Scout self and can romp and chase bubbles and play. But sometimes he just wants to sleep behind Daddy's recliner and be left alone.

Mommy cried when she told me this important stuff. I didn't know what to do, because I am not the take care of crying Mommy dog. That is Scout's job. He loves up Mommy and kisses her tears. My job is to run to you and give you a kiss when you sneeze.

I feel sad that Scout is sick. He is the best big brother a dog could have. And he teaches me and Bailey important stuff all the time. I don't know what we will do if Scout goes to heaven to live with God. But Mommy says that someday we will get to see him again when we go to heaven to live with God. So I guess that's good. I just hope Scout's sickness isn't that bad and he surprises everyone and stays with us for about fortyleven hundred more years.

Love
sad Bandit
