{Tough day of our life}

{171/365} Sheba {Sept. 1992 ~ June 21, 2010}
The picture was taken right before to the vet.

At fast moment when we knew that we had to let our girl
go, to leave us to be with Toby. We cried when we heard
news about her health. We were thankful that we stayed
home through the weekend to be with her and Rocky.

So many little things and memories with lot of flashback
to think about her life with us. Miss her a lot. I'm so
used to see Sheba in her bed by the computer. Mo love
to call her "my baby girl". So many things we could add up.
Sheba have had a wonderful 18 long years with us.

We love and miss you, Sheba!

it was challenging to take pictures at the expo. With the lighting
and tons of cameras' flashes. Mo managed to take good pictures
while I was able to edit the pictures into black and white. The
color was rather busy especially in backgrounds.

Mo was outside in middle to watch baby robins last week.
Mo happen to have the camera when he found this

The rabbit was being lazy laying to cool off on the cement
next door from us in back yard. Mo said seen it in the lawn.
But not realized how big it was!
