Swiss Lick Swissies

Thinking of Alex

Friday, July 17th, 2009 | Alex

Yup, I’ve been getting a bit teary eyed again.

People have been posting pics of Swissies and Beagles, or just Beagles, in the various forums I belong to. It’s making me happy and sad. I love to remember her, but it makes me tear up from time-to-time. I shouldn’t be surprised, right? After all, this is the first dog I ever lived with. She’s the reason I have been on daily asthma and allergy meds since fall of 1996. I did it so I could live with her, and later the other dogs, without having major allergy problems.

I have a cute picture of her on my monitor that I found in my desk drawer in the office shortly after she passed. It’s old, because there’s carpet on the first floor, and that’s been gone for 6 years. She’s not super gray, and she’s chewing on a toy. She hadn’t played with a toy in ages, but it’s nice to see her with one. It reminds me of how she was before she started deteriorating.

Yup, I still miss her.

This makes me tear up. It's always nice to remember them, even when it hurts. They seem to burrow their way into your heart and luckily, they never leave. Mya is the first dog I've had on my own, and I know, even now, that she'll always hold that special place. [ Even when she's on my last nerve after finding yet another pair of my underwear or shoes under the bed, chewed to pieces. ]
