I just reopened this thread..

and instead of reading all the replies with heartache I did so with a fond smile. I still get choked up when I talk about her to people, but I don't expect or even want that to ever change.
She is with me all the time. Sometimes I will be sitting in the quiet and I hear a bell jingling.. and Tilly and Nutmeg both become alert and look toward the sound, and I know she is there. I have heard her call to me, and all I say is "hi Bassett" and it is quiet again but I'm left with a memory that makes me smile. Sometimes I will see her walk by a doorway or into the room and I'll blink and look back and there is nothing there, but I know she is around. Sometimes I will blink and there is Nutmeg.. and ever since Bassett died Nutmeg has taken on so many of her traits it's uncanny (minus the peeing.. I thank you for that sweet spirit). I remember on the night before my first day of vet assistant course I was just climbing into bed and I heard her, or felt her walk across my legs in bed.. can't remember exactly but she was there, and I thanked her for being my inspriation. She continues to be every day.. my reminder of why I do what I do and why I am passionate about it even when it seems so hard. And to this day I still have no regrets.

Well my sweet girl, you have had one year of peace and comfort. I hope you are enjoying your time up there. Maybe you have met some other PT angels and have made new friends. Please try hard not to pee on them.. I know you want to but, in heaven you should be on your best behaviour. I miss you every day. Sometimes I pick up your shadowbox frame and shake it just to be reminded of the sound of your bell.
You must know I'm doing this.. I just heard you jingling by.
I love you still, I love you best, and one day I will meet you with open arms. Until then, thank you for being my angel.
Love,
Mama.
