Our Sweet Bulldog Oprah

For the past couple of months, Oprah has been struggling with a tumor in her bladder. After a long three weeks of trying to decide when the right time to let her move on from this life, we just had to set a day. The vet told us it was the right thing to do and she was in some pain. It was a very emotional day and one of the hardest decisions we've had to make.
She really was a sweet, fun dog. She was a funny conversation piece with so many people. Here are some of our favorite memories of Oprah. To start out, we had to keep wipes by the back door because Oprah didn't know how to "pinch it off".
Dad always called Oprah his little humming bird and said her and Daisy were his best friends when mom was at work.
Peyton said she'll never forget Oprah's loud toots.

Trey loved Oprah. He didn't care how bad she smelled, or what she looked like; he always gave her hugs and let her outside when she needed to go out.
Blake-Is Oprah in heaven with Grandma D and Grandma Joy?
Blake's chore was to feed the dogs everyday and he liked doing it all by his self.
I'll never forget going up the canyon and kicking the kids out of the stroller, because Oprah got too tired.
We all feel as though something is missing in our home and in our hearts. It's hard to put into words what it's like to lose a pet. We miss our little Ophs so much! It's comforting to know that "All Dogs Go to Heaven!" We Love you sweet girl!
