Well we got through Christmas ok. Mommy was pretty sad on Christmas morning, I know because she held Nvwati's urn close to her heart and sang Gramma Got Run Over By A Reindeer without Nvwati to sing along with her this year.
We didnt "do" Christmas this year but we had T bone steak for dinner. Yummmm. We also brought some food out to the homeless people like we always do. I am so glad this custom didnt change because those poor folk reallllllllly appreciated it.

Yukon and I got tons of gifts! We each got a HUGE box of LARGE Milkbones and flashing dog tags so Mommy can see where we are at night ( not that we are off leash), new bandanas and TONS of treats. Yummmy. Santa Paws was so good to us!

December 2007

Its been a little more than 2 months since my brother Nvwati passed away.
I was soooo sad without him and my Mommy was VERY worried about me.
She heard about a man who needed to find a furever home for his dog so Mom called him and they talked for a long time. Mommy was so surprised when she learned that his dog was a red and white Siberian Husky!
Yukon has been living with us now and he is a very good boy! He is quiet and loves to play too! I let him know who is boss around food though so all is ok here.
Even though Mommy and I still miss ourNvwati in ways words cannot express we are very happy to have Yukon Jack live with us and be a part of our family.

Its been almost 3 weeks now

It's been almost three weeks now since my big brother, Nvwati, went to that place called Rainbow Bridge.
Mommy seems to be doing ok most days. At least she isnt crying all the time.
Me? Well thats a whole other story. I soooooooooooo miss Nvwati and I am convinced he's just hiding on me like he used to do when I bugged him all the time when I was real small. But I stopped bugging him so I don't know why he would hide now. Every day, several times a day, especially after Mommy and I hAve been out for our walk I come back home and check and double check every corner and even the balcony for Nvwati but he's not hiding in here. I am soooooooooo very sad. I'm not very interested in eating much (but I started to eat over the past weekend cuz Mommy was sooooooooooo worried about me! And I am not the least bit interested in playing in doggy park without Nvwati.
Me n Mommy went to the Animal hopsital last week and we picked up Nvwati's ashes and his paw print in plaster. Now he is hanging out on top of the fireplace. Mommy says he earned his place of honour up there.
I sure miss Nvwati!
AHoooooooooooooooo

Its been a week

A week ago yesterday, Friday Sept. 28th, 2007 right after our walk to the park, Mom suddenly made a phone call and took Nvwati out alone. I wondered where they were going without me but Mom only hollered "We will be right back Mkwaa. You be a good girl."
Mommy came home a long time later, alone without my Nvwati!
She was crying hard tears and I tried to love her up but I looked everywhere and couldnt find Nvwati.
Mommy later told me that my big brother Nvwati had passed away, that he was gone somewhere called Rainbow Bridge and we wouldn't see him anymore.
I didn't believe her! I thought this was just a cruel joke they were playing on me but I have looked EVERYWHERE so many times and Nvwati is not here.
Mom took me to the Animal Hospital and the nice doctor there gave us a big bag of Nvwati's fur so we can gift to people who loved him as we did.
Mommy says I am her saviour right now. That without me to love she would have died alongside Nvwati. See, Our mom loves us soooooooooo very much and she is in deep deep pain now over the loss of our Nvwati.
I'm doing my best to cheer her up, to let her know she is loved and to tell things she asks me to tell Nvwati. Our dear friend told mom that I can communicate with him if she just wants me to tell him anything.
I have a big job ahead of me but I love my mom and will do anything to help ease her pain.
Hugs
Mkwaa
