An exciting and sad day

Today it was an exciting, but also a sad day. Exciting because school started again and it was Carlotta's first day in the real school, the Scuola Elementare and Sofia's first day in a new school, too, the Scuola Media. And a sad day because it was time to decide to put our beloved 15-year-old dog Milla to sleep.
She had begun to get much older in her behaviour already in Finland, but after an epilectic attack that she had before our holiday in Sardinia she just stopped eating. We spent 7 days in Sardinia and as she refused to eat we called the vet. She told us to try with baby food and just put it in her mouth and try if her appetite came back. It seemed to help first, but then she completely stopped eating and only drank lots of water, so on Monday the only thing to do was to take her to the vet while the children were at school. It feels very sad and empty, although we can  be happy because Milla lived a long life and always was very healthy.

The first school day went well and Carlotta said it was great and didn't feel as school. She had been quite worried about the fact that you get to do home work, but as she didn't get any the first day she thought it was very nice. Also Sofia and Daniele didn't get any home work yet. For Daniele this is the third and last year in the Scuola Media. Sofia had some companions from her old school and many new ones.
