Well I woke up this morning & headed to the lake. I had pretty high hopes for today because the wind was going to be turning out of the SE & the salinity level is the highest I have seen it in a few months. I wasn't going to be able to stay all day though. I needed to get off the water around noon so I could go pick up our dog from the vet. I dropped her off to get fixed yesterday. Well I got on the water & I made 3 casts. Before I could make the 4th my phone rang. It was my wife. She was crying her eyes out. She told me that she had just talked to the vet & our dog died @ 6AM this morning from complications with the anesthesia. I'm @ a loss for words right now. She was a big part of our family & she will be missed.
