My constant companion and walking partner, my joy, my responsibility, my Moe passed quickly today. Having lived with diabetes for two years now, she was ready to move on.
I miss her terribly, my arms ache from wanting to hold her one last time.
This was after a hike up Mount Si (2000), while Darrell and I were changing out of our boots, Moe wandered into nearby bushes, only to come out so pleased with herself because she had found some sh*t to roll in...
This was taken last week, on our last dog-biking outing. We made a big loop around West Seattle, stopping to find geo-caches along the way. It was a gorgeous day. I miss her so much.
Terry, I'm so sorry to hear about Moe. Kathy Brazeau told me about your website, so I was looking through and saw this post. The date just threw me for a jolt. We lost our Alice two days after you lost Moe (http://tomecat.com/madtimes/index.php/2008/09/14/alice-2/). The pain is awful. It's wonderful that you commemorated her in your self-portrait as tree.
ReplyDeleteBecky, Thank you for your comments. So sorry to hear about your Alice. There's nothing I can say that you don't already know. Our little animal friends are so precious and with us too short of a time.
