Good and Bad

My son, Ben graduated from Art Center of Design, Pasadena yesterday with a BFA. His major was film directing. Even, if I am his Dad, I can say he's one creative, hard working kid. We are very happy and very proud.

When we got back to our house, Miriam, our old sick dog, was extremely lethargic and could hardly walk without her legs slipping out from under her. She was not interested in food or water. Her breathing was labored, and she soon was struggling to just lift her head. After a family conference, we took her to the vet to put her down. She died with 4 of us around her. Very peaceful. We are very sad. She was a good dog.

The family's emotion have been whipped around.
