Today we had to say goodbye to a dear friend, Daisy. My son, when we first brought Daisy into our family, wanted to name her Reticulated Dinosaur. An odd name for a 4-year old to bestow on a hapless puppy. We opted instead for Daisy. Through these many years, she was as a good a companion and confidant as any person could be blessed to know. She was part Golden Retriever and part Kangaroo, and anyone who knows Goldens understands what I mean. She was, at times, dumb and stubborn, qualities that closely mirror someone else I know. She was also a notorious crotch nuzzler, which guests either found shocking or pleasant. But mostly, she was sweet, and soft, and kind. And when I think of her, which will be often, I will always imagine her sitting on the porch in Maine, watching the boats go by, dreaming of nothing but an endless supply of tennis balls and dirty rotten kitties.
Good luck sweet baby, you will be missed.
