My sweet "Zoe Bird"

As some of you may know. We had to put Zoey down yesterday. Her back unexplainably gave out on her, and she became paralyzed in her back 2 legs. Once the Dr. informed us that we could do nothing to make her walk again, we knew the kindest thing we could do for her, was let her go. Yesterday was a hard day in the Johnson & Campbell household. She will be dearly missed.

To be completely honest… I am struggling with the idea of Zoey being absent from my life. I know she has been in Temple the last few years, and Cody and I got another dog, but by no means had Zoey been replaced or forgotten. I was always excited to get home, and see my sweet friend. We had a bond distance or time could not break. Simply put, we loved one another.

For those of you who have had college dogs, you know how important they are. These animals become a part of who you are. They become your family. Zoey was my family.

I once read a quote about dogs that has stayed with me, “Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.” Zoey was a part of my “whole.” And she will always be one of the most precious things to have touched my life.

I am thankful for her, and the time God allowed us to share.

Music for the City

Nate wanted me to thank all of you for your prayers and for your donations. Because of your contributions, Music for the City was able to launch it's website this weekend. God has already begun to bless this venture and provided MFTC many small donors and last week they had their first very big donor give money!

Henry's New Puppy

Henry got a new companion for him. It is a British labador retreiver, whose name is Trapper. Here are a few pictures of him:

Well it is official. The Man Porch is complete. I am not going to posting any pictures as I want to see Joel and Shari's faces when they see the completed project. It has been a lot of hard physical and creative work, but Kirby and I are pleased with the outcome. I believe we are at our best as a couple when we are working together. Looking forward to Thanksgiving... and as Joel calls it the "Thankmas Summit" We are expecting over 40 people this year.
