Happy Birthmonth
I love you.
I miss you.

I took Olivia for her annual visit; and her vaccinations. I think you would have loved her about as much as you loved Dove. She is almost always wanting to be loved on. She is easily as cute as Dove. Ornery in a different way.

She also has an enlarged heart and some sort of bubble or growth on the side of it. I am freaking out about it. And crying. The bubble was discovered last month, I've been waiting to get a referral to UT on this. So today was the opportunity to pin down Dr. Harris about it, and ask for copies of her xrays. And again be confronted with the reality that this sweet little baby who's been kept in a kennel for too long and had puppies that I don't know where they are or what happened to them, may not be with me for more than a year or two, and my heart is breaking and breaking.

Happy Birthmonth... sorry today doesn't feel so happy to me.

I love you. I miss you. I know you'd be there to comfort me and provide me a little strength to cope.

1. We never know if a rescue will result in a long term relationship or a short one.

Sometimes our purpose is to be there for support at an unexpectedly soon end. That's the hardest rescue purpose, but just as important as having a lot of time. You can only try to emotionally handle it.

2. Yeah.

It just hurts so much. I love her, her little damaged teeth, the weird notch in her tongue, and the way she throws herself in my lap... the little stretchy bow she does towards me...

And after all the beloved ones I've lost in the last 19 months...

3. She sounds like an angel!
