bye, sweet friend

sadly, today i say goodbye to my favorite cocker spaniel, roxy. while i admit we had a rough start (she cried and peed on the spot when i first met her), but we quickly bounced back and became meant-to-be cuddle buds. i'll miss her terribly (the marcia even more so) but luckily i'll have great memories of her and her adorable personality to get me through. how she would cock her head when you asked her a question. how she refused to let a tag remain on a stuffed dog toy for longer than 10 minutes. how she would kick me while i napped with her in bed (the toughie had a kick like a donkey). and most of all, i'll miss her cute little face and her guppy chin. the hardest part of being a pet lover is saying goodbye. hands down.

to my nanna, i say, thanks for being such a great companion. sleep with angels and enjoy that ballplay up there!
