The same Monday that Nanan, Grandad and Ber left, we also had to say goodbye to our sweet dog. Ethan's dog.

We have had her for 3 1/2ish years. We took her in when she didn't have a home. Mart's uncle lost his house and was moving and couldn't take her with. We took her in planning on just finding her a new home, and then Ethan fell in love and we just never started looking. We've registered her every year and each year they tell us we need a kennel license for 3 dogs, but they've never told us how or any other communication at that point. So we just continued to do what we were doing. They finally sent out a letter this year stating that we had to have a kennel license, and we were 100 feet short of enough land to get one. 

The last couple of months they've also sent out a notice in the Richmond newsletter about the issue. If you have more than 3 dogs you need a license. If you don't qualify, you have until November 1st to find the dog a new home or get turned over to the Sheriff's office.

Sadly, it was time to say goodbye.

This sweet little one has been so cute to have and Ethan has just adored her. He loved that dog so much.

Can't forget the kiss. :)

Ethan had to say goodbye before he went to school. We thought it would be easier if he was gone when she was picked up.

He has been asking for her to come home all week, but he's behaved better than I expected. It was hard, but it was for the best.

My other two dogs were quite sure what was going on, and I think they are missing their friend too, but seem to be adjusting. 

I hope she's happy and adjusting and loves her new home!
