This has been weird.

The house has definitely been different since Mango left. Its much more quiet, the cats and dogs are much more relaxed. Its funny how fast time passes, and how much you don't realize that it has really happened until you sit down and actually think about it.

I am happy that he is back in training. Hopefully he will do well. You're not supposed to contact your puppy, but its hard not to know what is going on with him. Its the little things I used to do -- like get up early for school to take him out, get him harnessed to go out places -- that I think really make me miss him the most. I've been back to Brians lately, and every time I go my waitress asks me about him.

It was harder to give him up than I ever could have thought. He impacted my life so much more that I ever imagined. He captivated my heart. I really miss him.
