No more dancing feet when we put the key in the door. No more 'pokey head' when we stop petting, even for a minute. The 'Welcoming Committee' has retired, guests will be able to walk in and choose a chair. The bed will be so much roomier, and I'll be able to stretch out on the hammock when the weather warms again. The howling when a siren wails, I'll be listening, but it won't be there.

The list could go on and on, but that light has gone out, at least for now. But we will be with our Blue again, the 'Energy Bunny' has just run ahead to mark the path and we'll catch up when the time is right.

Sure miss you Big Guy, we'll see you then!
