Saturday, January 24, 2004 I remember the one day when I came home from work or an afternoon of running errands and I coudln't find Cookie. At one of my former residences, her favorite place to be was sleeping on this big fluffy gold chair that I have (it actually came from my grandparent's house, it's even older than my mother!) However, this afternoon, she wasn't there. She wasn't in the corner near the window on the floor either (another one of her favorite spots). I then walked into my bedroom, beginning to feel just slightly panicked, but assumed she was just sleeping in her bed. She wasn't there. I looked under my bed, in the bathroom, in the bathtub, in the kitchen, under the dining table, in every possible location she could get into. She wasn't there. I started freaking out. I called her name and began looking throughout my apartment (as small as it was) thoroughly panicked. There was obviously no way she could have unlocked my door and walked away, and if someone had broken into my apartment, they wouldn't have just taken Cookie, but why couldn't I find her? After several minutes of fear and worry, I found her peacefully sleeping on the floor in my closet underneath my skirts and on top of a sweatshirt of mine that had fallen. I was so relieved to have found her. Cookie was shocked I'm sure, to be suddenly woken up and I remember I wouldn't let go of her. The one thing I remeber at the height of my panic was wondering what would I do if Cookie were gone. I couldn't possibly fathom my life without her, I didn't know what I would do at all. Thankfully, I didn't have to wonder for more than that moment, but now after three months as the pain of losing her is subsiding just a little bit, I waiver between wondering if I should get another dog sooner than I wanted to and missing her something fierce. posted by lisa | linkorama | |
