In less than a week, we'll have our new daughter in our arms. What a joy that will be. Unfortunately, today we had to make one of the toughest decisions of our lives. Kali, our 17 year old Cocker Spaniel, and the boy's "big sister" finally reached the point that we had to
put her to sleep. This was the most heart-wrenching decision I think Sherry or I have had to make. The Feehs family is using a whole bunch of tissues today (and perhaps for a few more days).
put her to sleep. This was the most heart-wrenching decision I think Sherry or I have had to make. The Feehs family is using a whole bunch of tissues today (and perhaps for a few more days). Kali, which means Energy, was just that as a puppy. She used to do "the Bow-Wows"; zipping around a circle at full speed. By the time Josh was born, she had become a calm, loving, "puppy" that loved everyone she saw. In her old age, she turned into a fabulous watch dog. Any thief that walked in the house, would trip over her as she rolled over to have her belly rubbed.
We're going to miss her a lot, but I'm looking forward to being on the opposite end of the emotonal scale in just a few days.

Sorry to hear of Kali's passing. I know that must be hard.
Know that there are many of us praying for you as you ride this emotional roller coaster.
