I wrote something

In Memory
------------------------
As the months slide past
I find myself losing
The detail of you.
Silken fur under my fingers
Warm bulk pressing my knee
Chin cradled in my lap.
How you would stare up at me
Brown eyes melting
As if I were the sun
In your universe.
--
Forgetting is not a blessing
Or an easing of the hurt.
It feels like a second death
Like losing you again
Letting you slip away.
Who will remember you if I cannot?
For you were my heart
My whole world.
Unless I keep you in thought
It will be as if you had never been.
--
So every time the tears return
I welcome them.
The aching emptiness
The stab of memory
Mean you are still here
If only as a dream
If only in my heart.

Walkies!!

Dozer is very excited about going for a walk! Grabbing the leash and running off to the other room farthest from the door as soon as I clip it on him is a little bit counter-productive, but nobody ever claimed he was a bright one. :D

Cat friends

Just the two kitties... hanging out together on the couch on a Saturday evening. Nothing to see here.

Yoga

Not sure what this pose is called, but it sure looks uncomfortable!

The mad snuggler

Hungry

...and trying to kill me with her brain.  Again.

Silly Sleeper. Again.

Dozer always manages to sleep in positions that look like someone threw him at the floor and almost missed. :D

Peaceful family couch

This is how most of my time on the couch goes anymore. I sit down. Tali sits down next to me. Then, 1.) Dozer climbs up, sits down ON me and starts trying to eat my hair, my ears, and my nose,

2.) Dozer decides it would be funnier to snake-slide backwards off the couch,

 

3.) and NOW we can be snuggly.

 He is a challenge for sure, but I have never laughed so hard before he came into our lives.

Princess

The princess is so #$*&^! sick of the paparazzi always shoving their cameras in her face.

Weather-dog

Tali the tiny twinkie is NOT A fan of rain, mud, or getting her paws wet. But she will go outside anyway if there is a possibility of squirrels!
Around 45F and raining hard cold rain for the last 2 days so our back yard (and tile floors) are a swampy mud pit. Can’t complain too loudly though, since we hit nearly 80F and sunny on Friday.

Hugger

Handsome Dozer on a sunny day

Beautiful day!!

I took advantage of the gorgeous weather (70s after weeks of 30s) to do wait and distance recall practice with the baby while Brian was tilling the veggie garden.  Doz looks like such a derp when he runs!!  :D

Spirit Pieces paperweight

Today we got the Kodo-paperweight we ordered- art glass infused with ashes.  It is even more beautiful than I expected, and we set it up on the shelf where we have the box and a bunch of other memory things.

Ummmm.....

...not entirely sure what is going on here.
