Misty passed away 4 months ago today.  4 months seems much longer than 120 days… I’ve thought about her every single one of those 120 days.

So with impecable timing, I open the mail today to find a notice from the OC Animal Department… it is time to renew Misty’s Rabies Tag. There is this ugly box on the back  to check if you “no longer have the pet in question,” so I checked the box.  I hated checking the box.

And in order to keep myself from crying…again… more?  I thought about the  friends I have made the last few months – a group of us who understand what it is like to try everything, take on massive vet bills, pray like crazy, but… still lose a pet to cancer. A group who understands that after Misty’s love for 15 years, it is okay for me to still be sad 4 months later.

So while I lost Misty four months ago, I found a bunch of new friends and very much appreciate our Taco Tuesdays because at least I know I am not crazy. Well, I might be but not because I miss Misty 🙂

love, me
