Last year was unfortunate for the both of us.
First, Phuong lost his beloved family pet, Woody, the boston terrier/chihuahua mix... he was a constant joy to the family in Monterey. He brought the family together. I enjoyed the walks on the beach with Phuong & Woody. We met many dog friends & human friends on those trips to the beach.
In November 2009, I lost my dear Chopper, the kindest rottweiler you'll ever meet. I had Chopper since he was 8 weeks old. We played hide and seek, I taught him to dance in circles. My dad taught him to roll over! :p Among many other tricks that brought endless laughter to the family in Surrey. I very much enjoyed the family walks to the pond with Chopper. He never bothered the ducks. But was always happy to see other dogs, and would end up walking me instead of me walking him!
We miss Woody & Chopper very much. How nice would it have been to have our dogs in our ceremony at home. I can't even think of having another dog anytime soon. Its a shame that that they don't live as long as humans. They bring such undying love and faithful companionship into our lives.
Phuong and I did discuss about what dog we wanted when we moved in together. I love the West Highland terrier. Phuong wants to find another Woody. Though, it will be hard to replace any beloved pet, or person, for none are never the same. As I think about our future together, I reminisce about all the joy our family, friends, and pets brought into our lives. Miss you Woody & Chopper. Maybe Phuong & I can babysit the westie that lives in the next building...:)
