A Couple of Joes

We had some sad news yesterday, our cousin Joey was pretty sick and since he wasn't going to get better he went to be with his Grandpa Joe.  I guess Grandpa Joe was waiting for him so now he's not sick anymore and they are just hanging out and waiting around for the rest of us to show up.

Some humans would think it was silly for anyone to be so sad about one of us going away but I know its not silly at all.  We do everything together, our people even pick up our poop and throw it away for us.  They don't even do that for other people.  And I know that sometimes DeDe can get on my nerves with all her chasing around and barking for no reason and getting treats that should go to me but I know I would miss her if she were gone.

I hate that Joey got sick and died cause his mom and dad are so sad and they're so sad cause Joey made them so happy when he was here.  I guess that's our job, to make our people happy, to give them someone to pet and cuddle and give sloppy kisses and to make them laugh at all the silly stuff we do and keep them company when they're lonely.  That's our job and I wouldn't want to do anything else.


All this is making me sad.  I think I'll go find a lap to cuddle on.  Mojo

Not the least thing to bear when they go from us, these quiet friends, is that they carry away with them so many years of our own lives....John Galsworthy
