Sunday

Well, it's almost been a week since Maeve passed away. It sure has been hard accepting the fact that she won't be there when I get home for the summer. There are a lot of things I just won't want to do because they were just so special when she was there with me. Maeve was one hell of a dog and I'm just so thankful for the 10 amazing years we were given with her. She was amazing and full of love. Memories live on forever, so until I see her again...

School is winding down. Finals week starts tomorrow and I have both of mine on Thursday, so that gives me a lot of time to study. I'm just hoping they all go well and I'm able to finish off the quarter in a good way. Summer will be pretty interesting this year and busy. I'll be working at Camp Sue again, helping Dad remodel the downstairs bathroom, and working on my friend's farm with their sheep and horses. I think staying busy will be a good thing. Before I know it I'll be back down here for school moving into my apartment and starting a new school year. So here's to new beginnings...

To My Best Friend...

Yesterday I lost my best friend. Maeve passed away after 10 wonderful years. She was such an amazing animal and I thank God for every second I was given with her. Although her passing is extremely emotional and hard to accept, I know that she brightened everyone's lives and was a compassionate, funny, loyal, talented, unique, loving, adorable, and outgoing dog. Maeve was my angel from above and although I know she is watching over us now, I wish I could have been there with her. I hope she knows how many people will miss her. The outpouring of love and sympathy from friends, neighbors, and co-workers has been overwhelming as we all mourn the loss of God's special gift that was the spot of sunshine in all our lives.

I miss you so much Maeve- you gave the some of the best times in my life and I only hope I did the same for you. I'll miss snuggling up with you, playing hide and seek, running around the house, playing tug of war with my socks, feeding you my food from the table, car rides, running up hills, going on drives without a destination, and your collection of rocks and sticks on the back deck. Most of all I will miss your love. Thank you for always taking care of me and being there to hold. I will never forget you. Someday we will be together again. Hope Nellie is taking good care of you--
