More Pressies

Mom and dad were worried about me on Sunday because I was distant and I spend a lot of time upstairs by myself.  Mom didn't know if I was grieving for My Maggie or if I was hot. We did have a fire going in our fireplace all afternoon for the Superbowl.

Yesterday morning mom gave me a hAirecut!
 And after groomies, I got to go to the bank with her and the nice lady teller gave me 2 cookies so I'm feeling a lot better.

When we got home from the bank, a box was on our back porch.  It was from our friends, Aunt Lydia and her Aireboy Dave.


 Mom let me open my package all by myself because I'm not a paper eater.  My Maggie loved to eat kleenex and paper towels and she didn't care if they were clean or used, but not me.

 I have a new warthog and I think I'll name him Dave. I think that's the perfect name, don't you?
 Aunt Lydia sent me homemade duck ball treats! She makes the BEST cookies!
 They sure are yummy and BIG!  Thank you so much, Aunt Lydia!
 She also sent the most gorgeous Ann Curran card called Guardian Angels.   It's just beautiful and it made my mom cry. 
 She also sent a glass stone with My Maggie's name on it.   Mom can slip into her pocket or keep it in her purse.  The design is an open heart so the love flows both ways.  It's just beautiful and mom loves it.  She'll keep it with her always.  
 And she also sent a hand blown glass Airedale that mom immediately hung in the window over our kitchen sink.  It's just fabulous and so very special.  You are such a thoughtful and considerate friend, Aunt Lydia. Thank you so very much! 
 She also sent English pecan toffee, which mom won't share with me.  She told me that I can have the duck balls and she'll share the candy with dad. 
Thank you so very much, Aunt Lydia and Dave.   You are so kind and your thoughtfulness touches us deeply.   The two of you are such wonderful friends.

Love ya lots,
Mitch

  6. What an awesome package for everyone! Grief is tough, isn't it? I'm sure your Maggie is ever-present, but it's not the same as having her right there with you. We're crossing paws and sending good thoughts your way.

  15. The glass airedale is beautiful. You are blessed with wonderful people in your lives. I know you miss Maggie, sweetie. Tell mom that maybe you just wanted to be alone for awhile to "feel" Maggie with you. Mitch, you are so precious.

  30. What really great presents! Mitch, it has been my mom's experience, that we doggies grieve for about 3 months. Sometimes it's off and on, but we seem to act strangely for just about 3 months!

  37. What a great box with such thoughtful pressies. Everybody cares and they know you need to be sad. You carry Maggie in your heart and right now it feels heavy, but Maggie Willed you all of her love and one day the thoughts of Maggie will be a light joy in your heart.

  38. hi Mitch. I just came back over from Violet's blog to check up on you again and to see how you were doing. Looks like you're getting lots of love and attention. Im glad. When we lost our Abby airedale my Shug put her tags on his key ring. (I might have already told you that) Just seemed to help the hurt, kinda felt a little closer to her that way.
