not so seriously

my dear sister Esther had to say goodbye to her special pooch, Audry last week. During a large storm he spooked and broke out of his large kennel, ran to the high way and was hit. Poor thing. His femur was broke badly and it cost to much to do surgery so she decided to say good bye. Since she is such an animal lover this is a VERY hard thing to do. i wanted to send her hugs through the mail, and used the only stamp w/ dogs that i own!
