Oh. My Dawg. That explains how Wyatt spotted two huge black tailed jack rabbits yesterday!

My god.
Tears in my eyes. You remembered what I tried so hard to forget.
It took me until Sept 2011 to even be able to look at pictures of my girl again.
I never dreamed I would be the one hit that hard when she left. I always felt that since I walked in knowing what she was going through, I would be proud and strong when she left.
I even had plans for how I would help other
Tripawds, volunteer at UCDavis, etc etc.
Then I shut down.
God I miss my girl.
Just last night I closed my eyes, and dreamed I was leaning over to put my forehead on the top of her head, rub that soft spot in her ears, the way we did when she had her cuddly moments (true, they were only in the morning or the late late evening after a good day of RUNNING for 12 hours…..)
She would lift up an eyebrow toward me, give a good sigh and rest her head down. Everytime. As if to say "yep. This is it. This is perfect. You got it down… Just….right…"
I can still smell her head.
I can still reach out and ….
Almost
Feel her
Right
There
Beside
Me….
Thank the gods of the universe and everyone in between for beautiful people like those who started Tripawds.
Thank you for all you have done and continue to do. Words will never be enough to express an pungent how I feel.

Mary and Adam, we send all our love to you both today. These markers of time are rough.
Your beautiful, amazing girl is always in our hearts. Few dogs on this earth could catch a tennis ball (or a jack rabbit!) the way she could. She had wings even when she was earthbound.
All of us hope that life is being good to your pack. We miss you all.

OfflineGood to hear from you, Mary and Adam (better known as batgirl's parents). I am sorry that your loss still feels so raw. It is especially hard around the time we lose them – I can also imagine Tazzie lying right here, fur and all, and that has been especially vivid the last couple of months.
Caira Sue's antics made our journey so much more meaningful.
Take care of yourselves,
Susan of Tazzie Two
Love from Shelby, the P.P. with the Farah Fawcett tail and her servents.
We have missed you so much!
Everytime I see a tennis ball fly, I get a grin on my face just thinking about how Caira Sue could catch a ball 4 foot off the ground!
We are getting together on April 14th for The Western US Tripawd, quad paw, penta paw, Angel Pups and their Peep's git together, we would love to see the both of you and Pop's and his psychotic, neurotic terrier, Mill Valley Dog Park, 11AM.
It would be wonderful to see you again.

OfflineDiane and I second that wholeheartedly. It would be great if you showed up for the April get-together. We go to Carmel a few times a year now, and our day-long detours to Mill Valley are always the highlight of the trip. It means a lot to us to keep in touch with everyone, and we'd really like to see you there.
Mary, I know how hard it must be for you to consider going back to Mill Valley and possibly face the memories of a place Caira Sue loved so much. After all, Max died eight days after his one and only visit there, so we can honestly say that Mill Valley was his last big blowout – the final party for him. We were a little apprehensive ourselves about going back the first time, worried about the memories it might bring back. But it just wasn't like that (although admittedly, having your hands full with a rampaging monstrosity like Bernie bin Laden leaves little time for introspection). We still missed our boy, of course, but it's almost impossible to be sad when you're surrounded by friends who know exactly what you went through, in a place full of happy dogs tearing around without a care in the world. We wouldn't miss these reunions for anything, and we're counting down the days until we get to see everyone again. Having you there would only make it better, and it might do more to heal you than you realize.
Everyone grieves differently, and maybe you had to shut down for a while after losing Caira Sue. But now it's time to start up again. Come see us in April and remind yourself about all the good times. There are still plenty more to be had.

OfflineI know what it's like to feel their presence even after they've slipped out of a tired, broken body. May Caira Sue have endless days of more tennis balls than she can count, more bunnies to chase than the mind can wrap itself around. Godspeed, little one.
