So I really miss my dog. I'm not quite capable of talking about him yet without getting all emotional which is so not like me. It's so quiet and I don't have a personal escort to every part of the house. I don't trip over a dog while carrying a pile of laundry. I have to go to the bathroom by myself. There is no gently shaking bed (panting induced). There is no more loyal buddy.
It's amazing how you learn after they are gone, how integrated into your life they really are. I haven't lost anyone super close to me, in a way he's the first. I realize, comprehend and get that he was "only a dog", but he was my dog. He was very faithful and compassionate. He exhibited characteristics that made it so easy to have "Wisdom from Willie".
The picture I have to keep in my head is that he is now up at the pearly gates, barking everytime someone rings the bell at the pearly gates, greeting everyone... he must be driving Peter nuts by now! ;-)

I wish I could lend you Bell for a week. She'd be happy to trip you while you do laundry, follow you around the house, and bark at the door. She's quite bored with me today.
hey eli,
sorry to hear about willie.... that stinks.... but he was a good friend.
hope you and jayden are doing well otherwise
I'm so sorry for your loss—that has got to be so hard.
I love the picture of the pearly gates though. You are too funny. : )
I saw a springer on TV yesterday and thought of Willie. Surely, if dogs are in heaven, this one is bound to be barking at the gates of heaven!!!
Oh I am sooooo sorry!
