It's been a long, lonely week without my Sadie girl here with me. She was constantly coming in the house to see what I was doing & be sure I was OK. Every night when I went to bed & every morning before I got up, she was in my room looking in on me. When I was in the tub, she'd come in the house & check things out. When my hair was being dried, she came in to be sure I knew she was there. All thru the day, she would check on me. I miss the sound of her footsteps thru the house, her sassing back at me when I'd talk to her - I never had a dog that talked back so much - Sadie usually got the last word in.
I can't believe the amount of mail I've gotten from list members - most of whom I don't even know. Your notes have been great consolation to me. Please know that I can't start to thank you for your letters & cards & I'm not sure I'll ever be able to personally thank each of you for your notes. On top of losing my old girl, I have a broken hip (osteoporosis from muscular dystrophy) & am in the process of being tested for bone cancer, so medical things are consuming a lot of my time. If you don't hear from me, please don't feel slighted - I'm just trying to keep my head above water right now. I do want to publicly thank Karen, the angel pin lady, for the wonderful pin I received in the mail. Of course it brought tears to my eyes - & still does - but I treasure that pin. Your kindness is most appreciated! Thank you all so very much ... Candy Roper CAN- DO "Apply dog logic to life: eat well, be loved, get petted, sleep a lot, dream of a leash free world.” Sark
