One of my aunts passed away Thursday morning. I spent Thursday at work trying to wrap things up so I could head out to southwest Louisiana for her wake and funeral this past weekend. I called Dogs Day Inn to board Waldeaux for the weekend but they were booked on such short notice. Thankfully, Sara offered to dogsit for the weekend. I brought Waldeaux over Friday morning and he met Sara's 3 big dogs one by one. They ended up getting along great and had a fun weekend. I picked Waldeaux up Sunday evening when I got back in town; he crashed when we got home. I had to wake him up Monday morning; he's usually up before me but he played so hard over the weekend that he had to catch up on his sleep.
I had the opportunity to visit with relatives that I had not seen in years. It was great catching up with people even under the unfortunate circumstances. They had a DVD playing at the funeral home with tons of pictures from different times in my aunts life. Seeing that reminded me of the colorful life that she led. I heard Kenny Chesney's new single Everybody Wants to go to Heaven on the drive from here to Louisiana Friday afternoon; I think I'll always think of my aunt whenever I hear that song now.
