Thursday, December 04, 2003 Almost everyday since Cookie has been gone, I go through a moment in the day when my heart just aches at the thought that she has passed. And there are days when I don't go through that pain because I almost forget that she is gone -- and that is something that really bothers me. Last night, I was really disturbed as I was going to sleep as I couldn't remember what it felt like to hold her. I thought back to all the times when I'd get ready to crawl into bed at night and I had to make sure Cookie was situated. I couldn't fall asleep unless I told Cookie how much I loved her and pet her dear sweet head. Usually, I would fall asleep with my hand on her stomach feeling the rise and fall of her breath. It's been almost two months since I've been able to do that, and I fear I am forgetting. I used to kiss her on her doggie cheek no matter how dirty she was and felt the worries of the world melt away because I was with my dog. What am I supposed to do now? There are times when I come home, and as I walk through the door, I look around and know that I have come home to an empty place. It doesn't matter if someone is with me or not because Cookie is the only one who really counted. Actually sometimes, it bothers me more if people are around and we come home to an empty apartment. Nobody could be sad or upset around Cookie -- she brought a smile to everyone's face. If you were happy, Cookie only made you happier. Being around others and seeing their reaction to Cookie only reinforced to me what a great dog I already knew I had. posted by lisa | linkorama | |
