Scout was just five days old when we picked her out from a litter of 11 Labrador puppies. We brought her home eight weeks later. She was our “first.” She was the best big sister to our human babies and loved us all unconditionally. This past Christmas, we noticed she was limping and took her in thinking she had arthritis. Turns out our sweet girl had a very aggressive form of bone cancer. Just three short weeks later, on January 26th, 2016, we made the heart-breaking decision to lay her down. Our grief is still so fresh, but I know we did the right thing and she is no longer in pain. Our lives were forever changed because of her and we will forever hold her in our hearts and memories.
