Unfortunately, part of moving to the mission field is letting go. It breaks our heart that our beloved dog of 9 years had to go with my wife's mother today in Iowa. We say in a loving way, he had to go to the old folks home.
The good thing is, he dearly loves my mother-in-law. She is very special to him. While she was here in Kentucky visiting us, he was right by her side. It was like he already knew what was going on.
Many probably wonder why we didn't attempt to take him with us to Honduras. Pico is a very different type of dog. He does not do well with change. That being said, we felt the best would be for him to live with her.
Our hearts are broken, but we know in the long run, it is best for all and God is a rewarder of those that put him first.
