Short Stuff
Sorry it's been awhile, my computer was acting crazy, but now it is up and running.
Now on to the story - get the tissues.
Everyone knows I am not much of an animal person and actually I don't think Tyler is either. He went through the faze of wishing he had a dog, but most the time he says he thinks dogs are stinky. (I love that kid!) So Tyler isn't a huge pet lover, but he does have his pets he is around like his nana's cat Margaret who he loves to tall me about the time she threw up and his Naynay's dogs Shorty and Lucky. Shorty is the dog that made him go through the I want a dog faze. He loved this little dog. He would hold him like a baby and carry him all around. Funny stuff. Well the sad news is that Shorty died. My mom called to tell me in the morning that Shorty was in the hospital and I told Tyler that Naynay was sad that Shorty was sick. He seemed normal and not like he was caring too much. By mid day Shorty had died. After work I was having dinner with Tyler and I told him, "I am sorry to tell you but I have some bad news - Shorty died today." Please note this as one of the times in my life as a mother that I had no idea what to do. Tyler looked at me with those big eyes and just bust out in tears. Of course I bust out in tears and I had no clue what to do! It was horrible! I never thought he cared that much for the crazy dog! Once he was done crying he asked me some questions, like if Shorty was in heaven and if Lucky was sad. He is such a caring, loving, sweet boy.
