Thank you, everyone, for your wonderful thoughts. The loss hit me hardest this morning, when I realized how much of my morning routine revolved around Jazzy (she LOVED morning, and I don't love morning, but she always tried hard to make me start the day laughing). When Lucy went OTJ I was THRILLED to have those extra few minutes in the morning, and especially to be able to sleep in on weekends. Now I would give almost anything to have to get up early to take care of Jazz.
We'll be ok. Sammy has been superglued to my side, and Lucy and Mickey are hanging close by. I'm not sure they miss her (Jazzy didn't let them into her personal space!) but they know I miss her.
It will be interesting to see what life hands me next. I learned a lot from that girl and I am so grateful to have had the last 16 months with her. :smile:
