This is much harder on my than I expected. Tears come unexpectedly today. Like they are now. I had a feeling that pulling her collar from my purse, and moving her little basket bed might trigger the river of tears again.
Maddie – 6 weeks old |
Maddie joined our family in September, 1998. She was about 2 pounds and so itty-bitty at six-weeks. We compared her to a Beanie Baby and a pop can!

Halloween, 1998 |
First Birthday! Animal lovers, particularly pet lovers/owners know that it doesn’t take long — like minutes — before our pets weave their way into our hearts and lives |
DIY Guy once teased me as I made a soft cushy bed for our first puppy when we were newly married. He said, “all a dog needs is a newspaper to lay on”. From that day on, all our dogs have proven him wrong as they look for the softest spot in a room to lay down.
Maddie would make her bed on anything that was low enough for her to climb up on. Or in.
A pillow, a sweatshirt or jacket left on the floor – even a purse.

How long?
How long before I can go a day without crying?
Time heals. I know.
But time seems to be going so slowly right now.
Gabby is doing a good job comforting me
She greets me with doggie smiles when I come home — and cuddles up next to me each night.
It’s like she senses I need comforting.
C’mon Gabby… time for bed…..
