Although, it now seems like ages ago that we had him, his death still feels like it happened just yesterday. I still cry when I really let myself think about him. And, I mean really CRY. Not too long ago, I was watching a Jack Russell on David Letterman and couldn't help but bawl my eyes out. Anytime I see one on tv doing agility, I think about how Brinkley and I should still be doing that together. I still mourn the fact that Christopher isn't growing up with Brinkley (or any pet for that matter) like I'd hoped. To this day, when I go down to visit my mom and am entering town, I think about how Brinkley would start in on his barking and carrying on; he just KNEW that we were almost to Grandma's!
I still replay October 28, 2006 in my head from time to time. Usually late at night when I should be sleeping...like tonight. A lot of What If's and would'a, should'a, could'as. Some people say we should go ahead and get another dog, that it will help us move on. I do want another dog, but can't imagine NOT having another Jack Russell Terrier. I think Christopher's still too young to have that breed yet, though, so we are still pet-less right now. Hopefully it won't be too long.
Sorry for the depressing post, but I just had to get it out. The next one should be better! =)
RIP Brinkley (12.27.2000 - 10.28.2006)
