Just an update...

I was thinking lately that it's been a while since I have really thought about Oakley.  I have been SOOO busy with work - working 10 hr days, sometimes 11 hrs; my mind has been focused on other things. Looking through his pictures make me smile, but also makes me very sad.  I don't think the hurt will ever really go away. 

Our new puppy was born on August 13th.  John and I are very excited to welcome him into our family and love him just as fiercely as we did Oakley, and how we do with Maya.  I know he will be so much different, but we are looking forward to the happiness and energy a young dog will bring to our lives, and of course the love, and to see what kind of dog he grows up to be.

Thinking of you, Oaks!!
