Goodbye Mamie........

Maybe the reason why I have not posted is because I did not want to write this! Last Saturday, I got a call from the vet letting me know that Mamie did not make it through the heartworm treatment. He told me that he was surprised because she was doing so well that morning. When he went back to check on the animals that afternoon, she had died. Poor Mamie........ I am gonna miss my sweet girl! I have had a tangle of emotions about this......... ranging from guilt over putting her through the treatment to just plain ole sadness because she had been my constant companion over the past several weeks with Brookie working out of town, the kids going back to school, and me at home alone for the first time in years. She had been traveling with me almost everywhere I went and spending her days by my side. I guess God knew her time on earth was short. Right now, I will remember her sweet face and her love of riding.......... riding in the car, on the lawnmower, in the Rhino........ just anywhere. She would hop in anyone's car thinking she was going to get to ride. I hope I am able to post my favorite picture of her later. It is a picture of her sitting in a chair with Dwayne about 6 years ago. Right now, I am off to Jackson to take Dwayne for his fall asthma checkup.
