When fluffy died after 18 years, it took me 2 years to get over him. He was the smartest, craziest, escape artist, cutest and most attached dog ever. He was constantly by my side and came to be twice after his death. After two years I started crying for another puppy. On my 50th birthday my children surprised me with my male shih-tzu Mugsy. It was instant love. Mugsy was the complete opposite of Fluffy, cute, gentle, demanding, and dum. Or at least he pretended to be dum. When I got him home I couldn't believe how much I loved him and wanted another one. So the hunt was on for a female shih-tzu. My sister and I went from place to place looking. We tried the shelters and rescues first to no avail. Then in the paper finally someone had a female. We went, and believe it or not there were at least a dozen puppies, one cuter then the other, but only one female. I picked her up and the first thing she did was kiss me. It was an instant bonding. We took her home to Mugs who in his regal manner looked at her and snubbed his nose and walked away. Who is this strange creature that want to play with me, and who has newspaper all over my kitchen floor. Well cookie trained in a week, and wouldn't let Mugs not love her. He became her protector and spokesperson. I never knew how wonderful it was to have two dogs. Keeping each other company, playing together, or more like cookie doing antics while Mugs watched. He was and still is the king. Cookie white and gold loved the backyard and would go and romp my little tomboy didn't care if it rained, rolled in the mud, picked up turtles in her mouth, and loved her toys. If two dogs could be the exact opposites Cookie and Mugs were. He doesn't walk on wet grass, go out in the rain, get dirty etc. Cookie, the sweetest, most gentlest, cutest adoring dog I have ever had. I miss you mostly when I go to bed and your not there running ahead of me, turning to make sure I'm behind you. I miss your snoring. I miss your soft fur next to me. I miss you when I awake, your big eyes waiting for me to get up. I miss all the toys all over the place that you loved to play with. I still see you standing by your dish patiently waiting for your food. I miss you right now because you would be right next to me in the office. I miss you following me around all day and watching everything I do, and I'm sure Mugs feels the same. I'm so heartbroken and feel so empty. I can't stop crying. No one can replace you. You will always be my special sweet girl. I hope you found Fluffy because I know both of you are looking for Mommy.

Cookie is definitely with Fluffy and I am certain that she found Benny and Rocky and all the others waiting for her to welcome her and introduce her around to the others.

Your grief is fresh and tears will fall often, but when you read the final words in "Rocky's" book which John has posted, you will realize that Cookie is listening to everything you say and if you look up into the sky on a clear and sunny day and see the clouds drifting by, one day you will see one which looks just like Cookie.

She will forever be part of your heart.

Prayers to you at this sorrowful time.

Hugs,
