As I knew it would, the call that we were dreading, yet knew was imminent finally rang through. Garrett’s cremains were ready for us to pick up. The call came while I was still in Spain on a business trip, … Read more
We are adjusting to life without Garrett, slowly but surely. All the myriad dog beds have been washed, the plush toys too, and all the dog treats are stashed. But the house is too quiet. (we have a shitload of dog beds)
I miss the gentle nudge on the weekend for his morning walk. His expecting a little cheese when I make a salad. Or a smidgen of sliced turkey when I make a sandwich.
