Sweet Truman....I am sure by now you know that Pop left here on Oliver's birthday. Daddy is very sad as we all are. I remember when we got you and Daddy and I talked about names...it was important to get the right one. At one point , I said maybe Truman would be good but I didn't think Daddy would approve (it was his middle name) but he jumped at it and said 'that's it." He loved you SO immediately and wanted you to have his name. Well, it was also his Dad's name and he didn't seem to understand at first. LOL. We told him he was really named after Daddy anyway; but that if he realized how much we loved you , he would know how much of a compliment that was. I think it was a new idea to him for a dog to be named something less like Brownie or Fido...but he would later ask about you. I just have this feeling that you were right there when he arrived....wagging that little puffy tail and letting him know that you were happy to see him and would take him right to his wife...and other family. I know that is the kind of boy you are. I hope the two of you and Oliver....had some joyous moments of welcome. Daddy is very sad here...maybe you can visit him in a dream like you did Mommy...he wears your name tag around his neck every day...I never thought I would see that; but he has lost two of his greatest buddies lately. Someday, we will all be there together...I must believe this.
Love your Mommy!
