Since Gerry finally got relief from cancer, six months ago, and I firmly believe that he is looking down at me. I apologize Boy, for not being able to watch people walk their dogs, and it hurts when I hear dog’ tags jingle jangle. YOU did nothing wrong. You have not made me dislike other dogs..never ever think that.
I sleep with your blanket curled up between my belly and legs…a temporary replacement of your hips and behind, that I loved to curl into, on YOUR bed. It is still not a “guest bedroom”..it’s our room. It’s where I found you at 4:45 am each work day and snugged with you for 15 minutes before we went outside. This winter was HARSH, and I’m grateful you and I didn’t have to bear it together. This doesn’t mean I’m unable to do it again…I just needed a rest….and emotional rest after we said goodbye. I’m still resting, but I wanted to say today, I love you boy, and you made me fall in love with Labs. None of your blankets smell like you anymore. Time moves on…
