Remember New Years Eve 1999? I was still a lonely little foster dog in Atlanta. Momma and Syd were in Nashville, hoping the computers and phones and stuff didn't get all messed up by Y2K.

Momma has already been approved to adopt me, but wouldn't pick me up until the weekend. Momma was so scared that something would happen to keep her from getting me. Thank dogness it didn't, and Momma and I had nine and a half wonderful years together.

Momma's missing me tonight, her first New Years without both me and Bo. She's remembering sneeking away from the party she was at right after midnight, and going home to make sure the computer still worked and the internet was there. She can't believe that 10 years ago she just had one little Schnauzer, didn't know much of anything about rescue except what she'd been through with Syd.

Yes, Momma and I had quite a journey together. She learned the joy of a dainty but tough little girl dog, and about animal welfare issues and rescue and the joys and hassles of owning a house and more. Me? I learned to enjoy the good life and how to keep little brothers in line.

What a decade it was! I hope she knows I'm still right here with her, for the next one and all the ones that follow.

Dog bless you, my sweet furiend. My mom was thinking about ten years ago too cuz that's when I came into her life on Dec. 4, 1999. It was my first Christmas with mom....what a happy time it was. Where did all those years go to anyway?! Let's all sprinkle angel dust on our moms tonight.
