JUSTICE

It's been a year today that 

Justice left us.

This is one of my favorites of her snuggled up to Libbey

who died 12 years ago. Justice always loved Libbey,

and I think she ignored Howie because to her

 he replaced Libbey. Howie of course

 loved Justice regardless and was licking her face 

as she passed.

You can just see the tip of her tongue

sticking out. It always did to varying degrees.

I love how she looks blissful sleeping with her pal.

I received the nicest note from Lap of Love this 

morning, a remembrance of her passing. This is the

Dr's practice that came to our home and showed

 such tenderness and empathy

during the euthanasia.

So today I celebrate Justice

and Libbey 

and Gadget

and Buffy

and Sargeant

and Murphy

and Sunday

and Bandit

and Napolean

and Bozo

and Magic

and Samantha

and Chester

and Mac

who loved unconditionally

and make it impossible for me 

to live without an animal to love, be loved by,

 and to care for.

Howie and I, 

we're a team

both of us gray

and 63 and 77.
