… would have been Auggie’s 15th birthday.
It’s all about the pillows
Let me re-introduce myself. I’m Maezi, Auggie’s sister. You may remember me from such famous posts as “Isn’t She Lovely?”, August, 2011 & many more. Augster always enjoyed doing the limerick thing, blogging, running around the agility jumps, exploring the yard, giving kisses. He was my playmate, mentor, care-taker & sometimes, he was the bane of my existence, because, you know what? Sometimes he actually tattled! Then I would have to summon all my “puppy-dog eyes” skills to appear innocent. Not that that worked very often.
Mostly, he was just fun to hang out with. We spent a lot of time snuggling, tugging on toys. I’m reminiscing about how closely intertwined our lives are/were, but I can’t bring myself to sit on his ottoman alone & am reminded just how much has transpired since he wrote his last post. I’ll fill in some of the blanks later, although I’m not sure I can “poet-ize” as well as he did. Maybe I’ll try my paw at some rhyming couplets. But for right now, I just want to say, “Happy Birthday, Auggie. I miss chewing on your hair.”
