We still miss our old dog friend.
A dear friend who is devoted to her animals said that -- in time -- we would be relieved of the hyper-vigilance we've had to maintain with A. Yes. I look forward to feeling this relief someday because I don't like how I felt I had to be in order to cope with A. But now, when I'm reminded that I no longer need to over-worry about where the dog is and what he might be doing... right now I just feel so sad.
Today I was cleaning the laundry room and had to stop. I wasn't ready to clean off the spray of mud he shook over the cabinets in there a little over a week ago. (Embarrassing to report, I suppose...) this afternoon I vacuumed for the first time since A left, and I wondered how (in)frequently we'll do that now that he's gone.
The weather report made me want to cry from relief! Four or five days of very little rain. We'll get some stuff done in the garden!
