Catie’s Big Day

Last night. Rinsing a few dishes before heading off to bed.

Catie puts her muzzle on the piano keys and plays three bars of her little Catie tune. She likes to do that sometimes.

I hear her limping into the kitchen and turn to see her approaching me, tail wagging, Riley’s ball in her mouth (Riley is close behind her). She drops it at my feet and Riley grabs it, of course. She tries to jump up on me. It is one of her moments of inexplicable happiness and reaffirms what I already know – we are doing the right thing.

Note from Catie: Mom forgot to give me breakfast this morning which is weird because  I’m positive I heard Riley eating his. I’m sure she’ll remember later.

  1. Good luck, Catie! I am sure the surgery will go fine. Just a quick nap, then you will wake up and that awful pain in your leg will be GONE! Sure, surgery isn’t fun, but the pain is only a fraction of the pain of bone cancer.

    We’ll be thinking of you today.
