Only a little time has passed and I am sure you are still missing her terribly. She sounds like a wonderful dog. They are members of the family and although we don't have a pet, my sister's dog gives us all a great deal of happiness. <br /><br />Thinking of you and Stephen.

Yes we all miss her. In fact, Fiona the Siamese is in mourning. Not good.<br /><br />She was one of the "girls" (both pets)in an all male house, so it feels like I've lost a very, very good friend. Glad I have some lovely human friends, like you Marcia.<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />BarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-40768392567878958702013-09-26T11:03:17.081-07:002013-09-26T11:03:17.081-07:00Hi Catherine,

Zoey was beloved, lived near a very beautiful park, and spent time for many summers at the ocean in Nova Scotia. She had dog friends, and people friends wherever she went. And that is the ideal life for a dog.<br /><br />You comment has made me happy.

It sounds like he had a wonderful life. We become so aware of the spaces they take in our homes and hearts.
