While dad was attending his capstone MBA class this weekend, mom and I went over to Gammy and Gampy's. Finally, mom said I could have the toy that Suki gave me in Texas, but I was feeling a little under the weather - sinuses. That is sometimes the downside to spring and warmer weather. Anyway, so although I ripped into the wrapping (too fast for mom to even get a good shot), I just didn't feel like playing much. But mom got a few cute pics of me to share anyway.
But don't worry, Suki. The next day, I went right to my new squirrel as soon as I got up in the morning!
I love, love, love the acorns! I played with them off and on all day. Thanks Suki! You pick out really great toys.
Love,
Payton

On Monday, Payton's spunk returned so I figured it must have been all of her sniffling and sneezing that made her so tired the day before. She even had enough energy that she jumped on my lap wanting me to scratch her back like Tim did when he got home (we showed you that in her rubs and scratches post). She never did that with me! I didn't do nearly as good of a job because she stayed upright mostly, but she didn't seem to mind and stayed on my lap for quite some time. I will never forget it. We were so close, face to face. Payton gave me the most loving, gentle kisses. I miss her smell, I miss not having snot all over my glasses, I miss her bribery attempts for early meals. It's so funny how it's the little things that you miss so much.
Love,
Christy
PS. This is the last post that Payton helped me write. So that means that for the rest of this week it will be just me, but I hope you stop by because I've got a few announcements.

Thank you, again, for letting us see Payton's sweet face just before she went over the Bridge. She always looked happy and loved.
Hugs and kisses,
Minnie and Mack and Kathy
What an adorable little sweetie! I hope writing and sharing hopes with your broken heart. It is tough NOT to beat yourself up over stuff, but as you say you know you were a good mom...except you better change that to GREAT!
Thanks for continuing to share. Such cute pictures.
We will definitely keep coming back! We love hearing about Payton, sweet girl.

Those are really cute pics! Ofcourse we will be here to read the announcements :)
I understand about beating yourself up, I question myself all the time "well maybe I should have tried another seizure medicine" but we cant dwell on that. I think its ok to have those moments of unsurety, I think its all part of greiving. Im here if you need anything or to talk. - hugs
Christy, Payton had great life on earth because of you.
Thank you!!
More hugs !!!!!!
We miss you, Payton! xoxo
Oooh the what if game. Ive played it too. I felt so guilty after Zira died thinking that I shuld have noticed the pneumonia, but she had not coughed or wheezed until the day I took her to the vet. OF all my dogs I was the least bonded to Zira and in some ways that made me feel worse, I worried that I had some how missed something. The vet assured me I had not.
Payton looks like she had a wonderful last weekend. I am so glad she was happy and playful in her last days and that you and she spent them together.
We will of course keep looking at y our blog and I am eager to hear your announcements

What a cool toy, Payton! I love the "toy within a toy" thing. Those little acorns look like the perfect size for chompin'. Suki - you do know how to pick out a good toy!
Those last two photos are just too adorable.
I'm excited about the annoucement! Don't keep us waiting too long. :)
-Love,
