I know that I had promised a bunch of holiday posts about traditions but, well, my dog died. And my heart is really, really heavy.
And my sweet daughter is missing her best friend (although she was NOT his best friend) and we are both lonely for someone to sit on our feet and bark at inopportune times.
And I am remembering just how handy it is to have a dog in the house when I am baking. Because he would take care of the little spills.
And I am really missing my dog.
And I KNOW he is a dog, not a person. But he was MY dog-not-a-person. And so please be patient, I will get back to the holiday spirit in a day or two or three.
Preesh.

This breaks my heart. The loss of a dog is so much more than people realize. Hugs.
Maybe you could train Jooj to sit at your feet and bark?
I don't think you need to justify person or pet, sometimes, a relationship with a pet is just as meaningful as a relationship with people. So you have my sympathies.
Dear Rocky,
Of all the dogs, I hated you the very least. Even liked. Okay, I really liked you a lot, but don't tell anyone -- my reputation as an animal hater is important to maintain.
Happy heavenly humping,

I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry for your doggy loss and that your heart is hurting. Take all the time you need to grieve.
RIP Wocky Boy
I know when Gus bites it it'll be a sad day around these parts. I might pretend to hate him but there is a tender spot in my heart for that dumb dog.
honestly and honestly, there is something truly special about these dogs and our roles in their innocent little lives that makes their deaths some of the hardest things to go through. lots of love to you, lovely lady.
Poor jooj. Poor Rocky (and Smokey although I think he stayed in the fireplace in Provo). It's always sad when a pet dies.
I'm so sorry. My cat died this week, and it's put a real damper on my holiday spirit, too. He was an annoying cat: he puked a lot, and shed on everything and pee'd in my son's room and had terrible breath. But everytime I walk into my bedroom and I don't see him curled up on the bed (shedding), I get choked up.
I'm sorry to hear that. We may not be pet people, but animals are still very special beings. Hope you and Jooj get lots of cookie comfort this holiday season.
Sad for you. Also sad that my dog's not dead.
He's beautiful. What a sweet tribute, to be missed.
I am truly sorry about your dog/person. I lost my cat of 13 years a few years ago & I still miss her terribly. Those furry friends love us unconditionally. hugs to you.
