Winston's Legacy

The years Winston spent living with us, he filled our lives with happiness and joy. We loved everything about him, even his howling. 

It was very sad moment for us when we found him in his crate not breathing. We aren't sure why he passed away so early (only after 7.5 years), but apparently this was meant to happen. 

Winston, thank you for the happiness and joyful moments that you have given us! We will not forget you!

Every day has been extremely hard on us. Olivia cries everyday and so do Dan & I. Gabe just goes around telling people that his dog is dead. He's too young to really get it. 

I never thought I'd get another dog after Winston, but I truly love his breed and how much joy he brought to our lives. As much as he shed, I miss the constant vacuming I'd have to do. 

 It's been extremely painful and I don't want to have this pain again, but the pain is worth all the happy memories we had throughout the years. 

Winston truly eased my anxieties. There's something about a pet that is therapeutic. 

Therefore, as crazy as it sounds, we will be welcoming in a puppy Cavalier King Charles Spaniel from a local breeder on 8/27! 

We went to this breeders house today and had the kids play with all 7 puppies. There were 2 puppies that were called to is, Lucy & Hunter. Olivia loved Lucy, but Hunter stole our hearts! As much as we would love 2 dogs, 1 is enough, and decided on Hunter, a male. 

We can re-name him, and haven't came up with a name yet, but have 17 days to do so. 

So there's your little bit of crazy for today from the Minnich's! Until next time...

God Bless!
