Barooo! I learned today that Rookie, Carolyn Scott's beloved dancing golden retriever has passed on. He was such an incredible dog. I wrote to her back in April to share the news that she and Rookie had made it to Cuteoverload.com. I wasn't part of her mailing list so she actually took the time to personally write me back today in response to my email to let me know.
I feel so horrible for her but I know she can continue on, working with dogs and being an inspiration to people everywhere.
Enjoy your afterlife in that big ballroom in the sky, Rookie.
This makes me wish I could hug my goldens right now! *crying* But I know they're off in Utah running crazy circles on a ranch with my folks, living the life. May they romp for Rookie!

Needed a snack for work today.
What part of your childhood do you miss the most?
Submitted by Maretta.
my grandmother.
she lived with us which worked out really well since both my parents had to work full-time (coming to Canada, they had only $1000 between them, my grandmother and my aunt).
we were like two peas in a pod, her and i. she made me feel safe and loved. i don't feel i was as great back to her as i should have been... but my happy childhood moments do involve much of my memories of her.
my po-po was the best. i miss her so much - not a day goes by where i don't feel like i carry her in my heart.
it hurts, sometimes, when i sit there and let myself miss her fully, thinking of how much i wish she were still with us. i wish she could meet doug. i wish she could meet chaeli. i know she would love them with all her heart.
i don't know if i believe in heaven or not. but sometimes, i want to believe in it... just so i can feel the comforts in knowing that she is up there looking down at us. and in her own way, she has met her great-grandchild.

I've been on a bit of a buying binge (being home alone will often call for some retail therapy), so here are the last few things that have come home with me.

Yup, yesterday was grocery shopping day. I lead such a thrilling life!
when I was in college in the late '80s this station was still functional, and I would come through it when I took the train home for weekend visits. the interior was stunning, vaulted ceilings, phenomenal light, echoing with emptiness-- it was clearly on its way out of functionality, but the shell it stands today is heartbreaking.
