Two years ago today.

(((((hugs)))))  I remember how hard it was for you to let him go.   These heart dogs steal our hearts and even when they're gone our hearts never are the same.  The more dogs you love the bigger your heart becomes.

Jackie's right -- and it's true that some of them leave a bigger hole than others.  Tink and Luna both are working overtime right now to love on Mom -- we ALL miss Billy.  His favorite song was The Romanics "What I Like About You".  he **loved** that song

But your life has changed in such positive ways since -- and I'm sure he's looking down on you with a whole lot of pride!

Jackie, Callie (((HUGS))) Thank you. Sometimes I think back on how I thought the early symptoms (chasing and growling/fixating on shadows, for example) were just Roscoe being a silly dog, and I feel like an ignorant jackass. Other times I think I just didn't have experience with it and there's no way I could have known what that was foreshadowing.

I hope Roscoe and Billy have met at the bridge.

Ohhh, I have NO doubt that Roscoe and Billy (and Foxy, Muffin, Kee Shu, Socks, et al.) have met.

Foxy was the computer whiz (no joke -- I found "proof" more than once that he had been AT THE COMPUTER with typing on the screen -- but who can read dog-ese??) and I know they inventory everbuddy to see who all knows whom and who has JUST arrived!

I often think that for *many* dogs the very first thing they think when they come over Rainbow Bridge is "I feel **better**!!  I don't HURT any more!* or "I feel OK --- not mad any more!"  I'm sure sometimes those first moments of the lack of whatever the besetting problem was is huge for a lot of our friends.

Roscoe sure was a handsome boy.  He's got some very special friends where he is now while he watches over you and waits.

(((HUGS)))
