Happy Couple marries July 4th, 2009

Let the fireworks begin!

It's quiet in the house...

I'm so used to hearing Indi's distinct walk, since he only walked on three legs, on the wood floors. It was different then Miller's or Hazel's walk. I keep thinking I hear him walking the house. Sometimes out of the corner of my eye, I'll see something white and think it's Indi. I'm so used to having him around, it's so hard to know he's not here and he's not coming back. It's quiet around the house. No yelling out to Indi to stop drinking the water, because after 15 years of his life he still didn't get the fact that if he drank too much, he'd throw it up. The clinging of the bowls is silent, because he was the one who informed us if they were out of water. No cries of pain, no Indi bark...I can't believe how much this hurts. He's a dog for goodness sakes. I have to tell you this, which I couldn't yesterday...Mom stayed with Amelia while we went to the doctor's office. We came home and she was taking a nap. When she woke up, her and I were standing in the kitchen. She looked at Miller, looked at Hazel, looked around the kitchen and then looked at me with her arms open wide and said "Dog?" Her Indi wasn't there. She's a smart little girl. It killed me.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT CONNIE! I hope you have a relaxing day all bundled up in a cozy blanket, next to a warm fire...or a nice hot bath? Or a warm loving hubby:) Love you!
