Its been a little over 3 months now since I sent my best friend to the bridge. Its amazing that 3 months can seem so and so short at the same time. There are days when the pain of losing him is as sharp as the day it happened. What surprises me is that I can still remember the way he felt and the way he looked at me. I still cry and I still miss him terribly ... even though we now have two new puppies ... they can't take Snoop's place nor would I expect them to. So, as I experience my first Christmas without my best friend I just want to tell him that I love him and I can't wait to see him again ... to you my little friend, the best friend I could ever have asked for ... have fun and run like the wind ... but wait for me ... I will see you again and when I do we will never have to part again ...

what nice words, beth...

I guess its 6 months for us. We spent ~14 xmases with Freyja and with Saki. They always had stockings up, but they were not personalized or anything. I've thought about getting them personalized ones now. I got new stockings for Hathor, and for Lec (even tho she had an old stocking). Hathor's says "Santa paws" and lec's says "santa claws..." They're cute.

And even tho lec still survives and hathor is our new pup, I still miss them. It's getting cold, and saki was such the snuggler in the cold. It's amazing how warm a 14 lb cat can keep you!!!! Hathor (tho rambunctious) is much more of a snuggler than Frey. Frey wanted to snuggle, but she could never get comfortable doing it...

I miss them a lot. But also take comfort in the fact that when we meet again, we won't ever have to deal with this terrible separation again.
