Quiet thoughts


I am just sitting here petting Mickey.  It has been almost a week since we said our goodbyes to Maxi.  I have calmed down a little.  I still think about her and catch myself calling to her or looking for her when I walk in the door.  Mickey is adjusting.  He has continued his quest to bark at every living thing on this earth.  He is getting use to eating whenever he wants to-he can grab a quick nibble from his bowl and not fear the rest of the food will gone when he returns for more.  He is playing again.  He still needs to be near any of us.  

Life goes on.

Our vet, Dr. Byron sent us a very kind card.  It brought tears to my eyes when I read it.  The line that I will remember forever goes like this, "She has left her pawprints on your hearts."  That she has.

J,
very sorry to hear about maxi. I was never a dog person but hectie has totally converted me. I can only imagine how hard that would be.

Brian and David-
thank you for all your support and good wishes. Brian-I was never a dog person either. Maxi changed that.
