Everything went well and quickly because it was windy and cold!! Val took a picture of me with Doogie before I put him in the carrier. I think he was a bit confused, but I smothered him with kisses, told him how much I loved him and told him wht a wonderful life he's going to have.

Duke barked a little, but I don't think if fazed Doogie in the least. I don't think Duke realized exactly what was going on. Val was VERY excited about Doogie.

She gave me this wonderful Christmas ornament of a cat with a santa hat on looking into a fish bowl. It reminded me of Doogie and made me cry all the way home. But, they were happy tears.

Now everytime I walk in the door, my apartment seems SO empty .

Have a wonderful life Doogie. Know that I love you!!!
