A Boy and his Dog

There is always a strong relationship with a young person and their animal, Wyatt and Flower are no exception. She follows him everywhere, barks at anyone who enters his room, doesn't let another animal near him if falls asleep on the couch, watches his every move, and completely adores him. He is her world and for him now she is his....till today

Today, Flower didn't come home with us she started another journey that her boy could not follow. She will always be remembered and loved as her boy's girl.

You will always be missed Flower.

Oh Erika, how is your son taking the news?

I pray that he is calm and realizes that he will always have the wonderful memories with Flower.

He is Ok just really sad and quiet. It was sudden and very unexpected. A pulled muscle, we thought that turned in paralysis and proceeded to get worse. The vet was wonderful and very up front about what was happening etc.

We've all cried and cried it has not been easy. We've lost lots of animals but this one really hit us hard she was such a baby and a sweet girl who appreciated her home so much and loved Wyatt. The bond between them was so strong.

Thomas Jefferson’s 10 Rules to Live by:
1. Never put off tomorrow what you can do today.
2. Never trouble another for what you can do yourself.
3. Never spend your money before you have earned it.
4. Never buy what you don’t want because it is cheap.
5. Pride costs more than hunger, thirst and cold.
6. We seldom repent of having eaten too little.
7. Nothing is troublesome that we do willingly.
8. How much pain the evils have cost us that never happened.
9. Take things always by the smooth handle.
10. When angry, count ten before you speak, if very angry, count to a hundred.

Ben Franklin’s 13 Virtues
1. TEMPERANCE. Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation.
2. SILENCE. Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation.
3. ORDER. Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time.
4. RESOLUTION. Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve.
5. FRUGALITY. Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself; i.e., waste nothing.
6. INDUSTRY. Lose no time; be always employ'd in something useful; cut off all unnecessary actions.
7. SINCERITY. Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly, and, if you speak, speak accordingly.
8. JUSTICE. Wrong none by doing injuries, or omitting the benefits that are your duty.
9. MODERATION. Avoid extremes; forbear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve.
10. CLEANLINESS. Tolerate no uncleanliness in body, clothes, or habitation.
11.TRANQUILLITY. Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable.
12. CHASTITY. Rarely use venery but for health or offspring, never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another's peace or reputation.
13. HUMILITY. Imitate Jesus and Socrates.
