Didn't realize it's been so long since I've written anything. I'm still not a therapy dog. I was diagnosed with a heart murmur and Mom didn't think all the excitement of visiting would be good for me. It's mild, but she doesn't want to take any chances.
We're still living in the same place and enjoying every day. Mom works long hours, but we have a lot of quality time when she's home.
Made it through another hurricane last year, we both hope this is the last one, but Louisiana is home and always will be.
Will try to write more often and keep up with news, but sometimes it's hard to just stop and smell the roses.
Sorry I haven't written anything lately. Mommy and I have been trying to put our lives in order. It looks like everything is starting to really come together. Mommy went back to work for her pre-Katrina company and is very happy. We still both miss my grandmother, but we are slowly getting used to her absence. I am learning to stay home by myself and Mommy says she is very proud of me for the way I have handled all the changes in the last two years. I haven't taken my test to become certified as a therapy dog yet, but both Mom and I would like to give back some of the kindnesses that we have been shown through the last two years. She says that I bring her such joy that she wants to share it with others.
Last Monday my beloved Grandmother passed away. She was 96 and had lived a long and fulfilling life. We know she is in a much better place, but Mommy and I are still very sad. I have never been alone for more than an hour or two since Mom and Grandma brought me home, but Mom says she has to work and leave me sometimes, so I try to be the best I can while she is gone. She makes sure that I get plenty of hugs and kisses and attention when she gets home. I guess I'll get used to it as long as I know I'm still loved very much and Mom always makes sure I feel special. She tells me that we will be fine as long as we have each other and the support of all our friends and family.
