Half a Year and Toby Starbucks

How in the world has it been six months since my dad died? He died on the 23rd of March, 2 days before his Birthday! We are a very close family, I use to call my dad every night before I would go to sleep, my routine was to watch the 11:00 news, turn off TV and call Poc! Every morning, driving the kids to school, we would call Poc and tell him good morning, for two years I went to their house everyday on my lunch hour!
Dad was my very best friend and my biggest cheerleader! I miss him soooo soooo soooo much!
He was a great man, and is in Heaven, he couldn't be happier!
Here are a few pics from my Wedding, which he made wonderful, he said he would let me have the most lavish, beautiful wedding I wanted, and he did that for sure! He wrote check after check for that Wedding!

Sorry for the quality of the pictures, I think they were scanned into our computer! These were taken by my friend, and I'm so glad she got a couple of great shots! :-)

I miss Poc more then anything!

Well some more bad news, Toby has been with us for almost 10 years, his Birthday is next month, in Oct. When we first got him he looked like this!

It was LOVE AT FIRST SITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  He loved that Dalmatian quilt, it would fall off the bed some and we would find him laying on it, so stinkin' cute!
He started vomiting last week, we took him to the Vet and the Dr. seemed concerned but not as much as me and the hubs, I knew something was wrong, he wasn't acting like himself, the Vet put him on 3 meds, liver pill, acid reflux pill, and a antibiotic.
Over the weekend his belly was swollen twice the normal size, so I took him back in this morning for fluids and pain meds, they gave him all of that at the Vet and decided to keep him, he was so dehydrated, the Dr. is pretty sure he has a tumor on his liver and is in-operable, they are going to do exploratory surgery in the morning. The prognosis is grim, we will do all we can to keep him alive, but the Vet said if its a tumor like they think, that we need to put him down, I have a super hard time with this, so lot's of prayers please!
Boston's have a life expectancy of about 16 years, so as you can imagine we are all super shocked and sad, as all the blood work and xrays lead us to believe that it is indeed a tumor!
Toby needs a miracle from God, I know with all my heart it can happen!
We will be praying like crazy tonight!

Here is a picture of Toby that was taken about 4 years ago, he ofcourse still looks like this, he is 14 lbs, and is one of the smallest Bostons I have seen!

Don't forget that I'm a photographer, and I most certainly took his picture and made us some wallets, I mean how cute is he?
Say a prayer for the boys too, they are extremely sad, my mom just lost my "dads" dog at 8 years old just 2 months ago, and now Toby is super sick. It's hard to lose a family member! Toby is just that! We love him to pieces!

Sorry for the sad post tonight! I've been an emotional wreck all day!
