Happy Birthday dad-you are such an extraordinary father and "Papa". I never could of dreamed how amazing you could be with my kids, I love to watch you with them, I can see how much you love them and they LOVE and ADORE you so much in return! I hope you had a great day on the slopes with Trav and we wish we could be there to eat "china food" with you as Tay says. We love you very much!
Today also would of been Mckinley's 9th birthday. We always thought it was so funny that they had the same bday. It is still so hard getting used to her not being around. When I was home for Christmas we took her on a ride to Sonic to get a Diet Coke. The kids thought it was so funny how she just sat up on the front seat and looked at the window like she was a person. I told them how she used to go EVERYWHERE with me. We were always afraid of what the house would be like if we left her so it was just easier to take her with me. When we were at home she would follow me from room to room, always under foot. It was so strange and sad to leave her with my parents when we moved here. It was better for her and she became my moms little shadow and my dads buddy. It is just still so heartbreaking to lose a pet. These last two pictures are my very favorites of her.

I love looking at these pictures! The first and last are my favorites! What a nice tribute to both of them.
Super cute stories! I love all the pictures. Happy Birthday to them both! I can definitely see you in your Dad's eyes.
Sorry I had to jet so fast last night. Trying to get everything together before my Mom gets here tonight. There is never enough time in the day! Cant wait until March...
Fabulous pictures! Such a great tribute. It's OK to cry when your dog dies, when my pugger does, I'll be inconsolable.
JEN THIS IS SO SPECIAL IT MAKES ME BOTH HAPPY AND SAD. THEY ARE SUCH CUTE PICTURES AND FUN MEMORIES. IT JUST MAKES ME MISS MCKINLEY SO MUCH. THERE IS NOT A DAY THAT GOES BY I DON'T THINK ABOUT HER AND LONG FOR HER EXCITEMENT AND HER PRESENCE. IT IS JUST TO QUIET AROUND HERE WITHOUT HER. I AM STILL CONSTANTLY REMINDED ABOUT HER ON A DAILY BASIS I THINK I GUESS I DON'T HAVE TO LOCK THE FRIDGE ANYMORE, OR HAVE THE BUTTER UP ON A HIGHER SHELF SO SHE WON'T OPEN THE DOOR TO GET IT, I GUESS I CAN LEAVE DIRTY DISHES IN THE SINK BECAUSE SHE WON'T BE GETTING THEM OUT AND CHEWING THEM UP. SHE WAS SO NAUGHTY AND LOVING ALL AT THE SAME TIME. MCKINLEY WE LOVED YOU AND MISS YOU.
