bye bye puppy dog!


Our dog, Admiral, died in March. We miss him. We love him. Below is a conversation I had with Beck a few days after Admiral died...

This morning I pulled up a photo of Admiral on the computer screen.

Beck: "Can puppy dog come in? Can puppy dog come in?"
Me: "No sweetie, puppy dog died. He had to go away."

--- long silent pause ---

Beck: "Puppy dog laughs?"

Me: "Yes, puppy dog laughs."

Beck waved to the photo of Admiral on the screen. "Bye bye, puppy dog!"

Then he walked over to the bookshelf, pulled out his photo book and turned to a picture of him and Admiral together. "Bye bye, puppy dog!"
