31 Days of Wishes-Day 9

Zeke: Winter 2000-December 8, 2009

My 9 year old Border Collie dropped dead last night and there’s a huge gaping hole of silence at home and at work.  My 10 year old Shepherd/Retriever survives, but the BC was my velcro dog.  I work from home and he followed me everywhere, thinking it was his job to stick close to me and make sure I was OK.  Undoubtedly the closest relationship of any of the six dogs I’ve had during my adult life.

My wish for today is merely to get through the day.  Perhaps the howling wind outdoors will mask the uncomfortable quiet indoors.
