Thirteen years. It was a lifetime. Yet it went by so quickly. Your triumphant, sassy spirit was infectious. And with it, you conquered your world. And me. And daddy. And all who entered your orbit. You had the world wrapped around your paw. That spirit that crashed into our home on a cold, snowy Sunday in March 2008 is still here…I feel it. You’re here…everywhere…I feel you. I try to keep your spirit alive by living the way you did. I leap out of bed and shout (in my head), “Get up! There are things to do, places to go, people to see! Let’s get going!” Some days this is easier than others. How you did this every day, I’ll never know. What I do know is that you were loved beyond measure. And that we will honor your memory the best way we know how…by rescuing another dog. We will love your forever, Gidget.
