Last August you helped me when my cat Daisy was killed. I intended to keep in touch but I couldn't bear to do so because my little girl dog, Trixie, just vanished two weeks later. At that point I was doubting my ability to own a pet. I wrote my essay to her just as I had done for Daisy and started on lexapro. Today Trixie came home! She is skin and bones and has a few raw places on her. Her feet pads are red and there is a bald spot on her head that hasn't healed. She has been gone for 6 weeks and I don't think she has eaten at all. Tomorrow I am taking her to the animal clinic for a check up, treatment and micro chip. I just can't believe this! For all you who have lost or missing pets, I just want you to not give up. Thanks too.

Eggy, I was trying to post Tiny's picture but it was too big and I just couldn't deal with it. I just e-mailed it to you. Maybe you know how to post it?

Tiny came into our lives in November of 1997. Someone had dumped him in the neighborhood (I used to cover Tiny's ears when I told that part) and one morning my neighbors and I were all on the phone together talking about him, because he had been around since the night before. We all thought he was too neat of a dog to have to call the pound, but he was a little scary. He was HUGE! Little by little we came out of our houses to see him and as a joke, the neighbors fed him in front of our house. He adopted us. We took him in to a vet who guessed that he was just under 2 yrs old and he must be Mastif and Great Dane, and we think there was some Sharpei in him as well because of his allergies and wrinkley skin. Before we found out he was dumped from the neighbor at the end of the street who thinks she saw it, we thought he was lost from some loving family, because he really was a nice dog. We tried to find the owner with an ad in the paper, etc. Sarah was about 2 at the time and my mother was freaking out long distance about "that dog" around her grandbaby. That was one of the reasons we named him Tiny, after my mom's childhood dog. It was also funny because he was 150 lbs. Before Tiny got too old to get up and down in the van we took him everywhere with us. He was happy to be wherever we were in the house, and until he got older and we didn't care, he somehow knew we didn't want him on the carpeting and he stayed off. He was the kind of dog who didn't like to "mess" his own yard, so we walked him every morning in our rural area. Everyone knew Tiny. He went to every class of Sarah's for Show & Tell. He was so patient with little kids. He was like a nanny. He would sit out in the front yard and watch the kids playing for us. Halloween was his favorite holiday because he'd sit at the front doorway and thought everyone was coming to see him. Even this year he was able to get up and walk around a little and greet some kids. He was a really, good dog.

Here is Tiny! He looks so sweet (and big!). I'm so sorry Emmy. It is very hard to lose a wonderful friend like that.

 Tiny Emmy, I'm so very sorry for your family's loss. Tiny sounds like he was a wonderful, loving friend who will be missed by everyone lucky enough to have known him. Such a handsome fella too. Glad you got to have ten good years with him but it never seems like enough time, does it?

Thank you so much, Jimmer. Tiny was very sweet and very big. I felt very safe out with him. He was also very old. We think he was 13 - way past expected age of any giant breed dog. His doctor told us that he had never known of a dog of his kind to live so long.

Calamity, thank you very much. My house was so quiet today (just picked up Sarah) I was really missing him. He used to lay down behind my chair at the computer and squish me in so I could barely lean back and type.
