2 months and 2 days


I was sitting here earlier thinking how long 2 months and 2 days can be. That's how long it's been since you had to go. I was thinking how much I think of you every day. On good days all my thoughts and memories are happy ones - on other days I can't help but cry when I come across your ball, food bowl, favorite spot etc.
As I was sitting here thinking about those things I noticed that a thunderstorm had managed to sneak up on me. You were always the first to alert me if a thunderstorm was on the way, especially in the last few years. I never had to wait till the rain had started to put the ponies in the barn, you always gave me plenty of notice. It also occurred to me that surely you aren't scared of such silly things anymore.
Yesterday your cat snuck in the house looking for you. She still sniffs the end of the couch where you always layed. I'm pretty sure she has no idea where you took off to. I let her hang out and lay on the couch for a while. I figured we could miss you together for a few minutes.

Anyway, just wanted you to know how much I miss your smiling face.

Love,


Your human

Damn--- MoM knows better than to read something like this in public.... she cried. She still remembers Tooter Bear... her chow... long, long gone.. but he went with her everywhere and slept with her... boon companion! Died while she was in college... had cancer... everything possible was done for him... nothing stopped it. And there are the multitude of others that JOJO's memories stir... and the tears are just as hurtful today as they were in the past.

MoM says that humans love us 4-legged furries "just because." But I know it is because we never, never judge and we love unconditionally and with all our hearts no matter what...

Awesome tribute to a wonderful companion... MoM sends her love!
