Putter's Diary

February 17, 2007

Wow, I can't believe it's been a year since Momma posted anything about me. She said how proud she was that Zoe was cancer free. But she wasn't. It came back and Zoe fought another hard battle but lost. I was so sad. Momma and Daddy took me, Bella and Lily with them to bury Zoe and say goodbye. She's buried at a pet cemetary. I cried and moped around for almost three months. Every morning, I ran around the house looking for her. I checked all her favorite places to sleep, including all the couches and the pet bed next to Momma's side of the bed. But I never found her.

Daddy took us for a walk in the snow today on the golf course. Bella and Lily went too. Momma made us wear our red jackets. Daddy thinks they're silly, but Momma was right and they kept us warm and dry. Momma had our names embroidered on them. Daddy thinks that's silly too. We walked forever so I decided it was time to go back home. But I forgot to tell Daddy I was going home. And then he called Momma on his cell phone because he couldn't find me. But I was sitting in the garage by the back door waiting for Momma to open the door. Bella thinks I'm goofy for going home without them. But it was cold and wet, and I wanted a treat.

Now it's nap time on the pretty yellow couch in the sitting room. Momma always has to vaccum it after my naps because I leave short black Putter hairs all over it. But it's soooo comfy! Bye for now, Love Putter
