Maybe 2004-2005. I was probably on MySpace.

‪This is so embarrassing, but I’m sharing it anyway. I forgot my dog’s treat camera was on. This is me trying to figure out how much I weigh with my boots on. It also shows how much I talk to my dog. ‬

I bought Winston a PetCube for Christmas. We weren’t initially ready for the slingshot treat dispenser. Winston definitely is now.

Our beagle, Gibbs, passed away yesterday. I don’t know his exact age, but I would guess he was about 10. He came to us as a rescue from a puppy mill in Missouri about four years ago. He had just finished up his last heart worm treatment when he met us. The guy was a fighter. He was also sweet and quiet. I often wouldn’t know he was in the same room as me until I would turn and see him. He had these big brown eyes that were soft and yet intense, like he could look right through you, into your soul or mind, whichever you believe. I am sad about his passing, but how I feel doesn’t even come close to the pain my mother is experiencing. He was her dog. They loved each other more than anyone else can understand. I took this photo of my mom and Gibbs about a week ago. I didn’t take it because I thought he was going to die soon — I had hoped so much that we would get better. I took the photo because it was beautiful. It showed how much they loved each other and the love they shared was beautiful. Love is the most beautiful, most important thing we can give to each other. I love you, Gibbs. Thank you for your love. See you later.
