Rest In Peace Noodle

Our sweet puppy Noodle left us tonight. He has been sick for about a week and when we took him to the vet on Thursday, they found that he had a genetic disease called Addison's. It affects the adrenal glands, and had caused complications leading to kidney failure and bleeding ulcers. Scott brought him home from the vet Thursday night and we had a fun weekend with him even though he was sleeping most of the time. Tonight he started acting very crazy and wouldn't let us near him, we decided it was time to let him go. The kids are all very upset but handling it well. We sat around and shared our favorite Noodle moments and laughed at that crazy dog. We've had a great 2 years with him and feel lucky to have had him; even if it was only for a short time. It's going to feel lonely around here, he had quite a large presence. We'll miss you Noodle!

Oh I am so sorry my dear ones. I remember when we lost Angel and it was hard. They really become a part of the family, even though Grandpa never acknowledged it, but always fed him on the sly. Just like he did with Sneaky. :) Did you know that Donna, Grandpa's first wife, died of complications of Addison's disease. I didn't know dogs could have it. So sorry, give the kids hugs from me.

I am so, so sorry. We lost our sweet Cooper shortly after we saw you guys last summer. :( Glad we got to meet Noodle. Hope your hearts feel better soon.
