Today was picture day at Chase's school, and he wore a medium blue Polo shirt and his contacts. He looked good, even with his long hair. Nanaw had hoped he'd get a haircut that was short on the sides but it was not to be. Maybe next year. Mama called Nanaw during the day and told her they were going to take Sam to the vet to have him put to sleep on Friday afternoon because of the cancer. Mama and Nanaw cried on the phone and talked about what a wonderful part of the family Sam was and how much they loved him. Nanaw decided that she would have some pictures of Sam printed out for Mama. For homework, Chase had two extensive pieces of work. He has a science test tomorrow, and his history assignment was a full page of questions about the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. He just barely managed to get everything done at Nanaw's, which was a good thing because he had hockey practice in the evening. He promised to study science when he got home from practice and said they could study science again Friday morning. After Nanaw dropped Chase off, she went to Waterloo Walmart and printed out some 8 x 10 and 4 x 6 photos of Sam for Mama and herself. She also bought picture frames to put them in. One of the frames was especially cute -- it held three 4 x 6 photos. Nanaw hopes Mama will like the photos. It's heartbreaking to lose Sam, the best dog in the world.
