Sailor here.<br />
<br />
I am still Mom's ghost dog. And it's fun!<br />
<br />
I heard her tell Aunt Judy that Jib has stepped into my shoes, and I went to check it out. But, really Mom, I don't HAVE shoes. I don't even have feet! <br />
<br />
But Jib is doing some of my job. He is now the Fun Police. Especially when Kite and Banner are chasing and barking and pouncing on each other.<br />
<br />
And Kite has really grown up! You should see him! He almost looks like a dog now. But he still has puppy mind and adolescent nose and is brainless most of the time now. I was NEVER brainless.<br />
<br />
Jib now sticks close to Mom, so close that she sometimes runs into him. Then she says, "Ooph!" and stumbles and Jib dances away and apologizes.<br />
<br />
So I tried sticking close to Mom, too, and guess what? MOM WALKS RIGHT THROUGH ME! She doesn't Ooph or stumble or anything. She just goes right through me. And it doesn't hurt. And I can walk right through her, too. And Jib. And Kite. It's fun!<br />
<br />
But there are things Jibby can't do. He can't make Mom's tears stop the way I could. He can't bark at the mailman the way I could. He can't say Good Night to Mom in the same way. <br />
<br />
But he's learning.<br />
<br />
And Zoe, well, she's running the Iditarod now, so she's really busy. She sent me pictures and she is lead dog and bossy dog and fast dog and best dog. She says she will lead the winning team under the burl arch in Nome, just wait and see. The only thing she misses is the fish snacks. She says she doesn't have teeth any more or a throat or stomach, so fish are pretty much for the living huskies on the trail. But she is finally doing what she always dreamed about: running The Last Great Race.Sailor's Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18197022438697825577noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518613059839505385.post-60430795688680789262012-11-24T09:28:00.001-08:002012-11-24T16:44:24.629-08:00ShadowsJib here.<br />
<br />
Mom wrote another poem for Sailor. She is still sad, but I am helping her be not so sad.<br />
<br />
She says, "Zorba danced. I write."<br />

<br />
Jib here.<br />
<br />
Kite is having ear woes.<br />
<br />
I had ear woes, and after a year and a half, Mom gave up.<br />
<br />
But Mom says she can't give up on Kite. Mom says at some point, he's supposed to get all dressed up and go into the conformation ring and run around in circles and stare at cheese. And he needs tipped ears for that.<br />
<br />
Why?<br />
<br />
Does he need tipped ears to hear Mom call him to Front from 50 feet away?<br />
<br />
Does he need tipped ears to hear Mom say, "Find Mine" when he's doing Articles?<br />
<br />
Does he need tipped ears to hear Mom tell him to Drop when he runs to her on a recall?<br />
<br />
Does he need tipped ears for that? And that? And that?<br />
<br />
I don't think so.<br />
<br />
But Mom isn't going to give up.<br />
<br />
So to spare little Kite a world of glue and bother, let's all chant: <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Tip, ears, tip! </span><br />

Sailor here.<br />
<br />
I'm going home. Mom told me a long time ago that if I were too lonely without her, I could come back to Earth as her ghost dog.<br />
<br />I am not lonely, but Mom is. She is sad.<br />
<br />
So I am going home to be her ghost dog until she smiles again.<br />
<br />
I will run next to her and she will see the grass ripple as I run by. She will feel the fleeting touch of my nose in her hand. She will hear the echo of my greeting. I will leap and bark and she will feel the whisper of my paws on her shoulders.<br />
<br />
She will smile.<br />
<br />
Then I can be happy.Sailor's Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18197022438697825577noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518613059839505385.post-20942469375109084102012-10-20T12:08:00.001-07:002012-10-20T12:08:13.912-07:00Nothing Has ChangedSailor here.<br />
Zoe had a sleepover last night.She didn't go back North. She stayed here to play with me. <br />
Nothing has changed.<br />
She still tries to bully me. <br />I still tell her off.<br />
Then she laughs and runs in circles.<br />
I herd her.<br />
I laugh and herd her some more.<br />

It's wonderful at the Rainbow Bridge!<br />
I can eat all I want. All day long if I want.<br />
The water tastes great!<br />
I can run and never get tired.<br />
Zoe came down to chase me.<br />
And best of all, guess what?<br />

<div>
<span id="role_document" style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">Sailor and I have done so many things together: obedience, agility,
therapy, backpacking, a little tracking, herding, modeling for calendars. We did
it all but most importantly, we did it together, our bond growing stronger and
stronger with each class, each competition, each activity. He is such a wonderful boy, my first dog, with a heart as big as the moon. Sailor's memory will live on long after his
ashes have been scattered in the sea.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Mom loves me. She made me a list of whys.<br />
<h6 class="uiStreamMessage userContentWrapper" data-ft="{"type":1,"tn":"K"}"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="messageBody" data-ft="{"type":3}"><span class="userContent">Kite, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways:<br />
Soft mouth when taking treats<br />
Was house trained at twelve weeks<br />
Never had a house training accident in the house. Not once.<br />
Rides well in car. Never got car sick. Not once<br />
<div class="text_exposed_show">Crate trained <br />
Has slept through the night since I brought him home<br />
Likes being brushed<br />
Jumps up on the hearth to be brushed and turns around on command<br />
Stands still on grooming table; doesn't bail<br />
Stands still when being blown dry<br />
Lets me Dremel his toenails with no fuss<br />
Kisses me every morning. And afternoon. And evening.<br />
Loves all people and dogs. Especially children.<br />
Plays well with puppies<br />
Respects the older collies and learns from them<br />
Does not resource guard<br />
Loves training<br />
Leaves it when asked<br />
Doesn't charge out the front door or out of his crate until released<br />
Sits politely for supper until released<br />
Sits politely to be let out of the dog yard<br />
Pees on command<br />
Does not counter surf. Or empty waste baskets. Any more.<br />
Comes when called. Mostly.<br />
Isn't he just the perfect puppy?<br />

Jib here.<br />
<br />
I am bored. Kite is bored. Sailor is, well, asleep.<br />
<br />
Mom is entering a writing contest. That means she is writing. She is writing and writing. <br />
<br />
She doesn't have time to play with me. She doesn't have time to play with Kite. She doesn't have time to kiss Sailor.<br />
<br />
We are bored.<br />
<br />
Maybe if we all barked....<br />

<br />
So what that the whoppersnapper is five months old?<br />
<br />
So what?<br />
<br />
He's high in the rear. He's high all over, too.<br />
<br />
He's high enough to steal Jib's toys off the outside table.<br />
<br />
He's high enough to grab socks out of Mom's laundry basket.<br />
<br />
He's high enough to snag a cookie from the kitchen counter. And there is NO flappy snappy to stop him!<br />
<br />
He's so high he can't walk under my belly anymore.<br />
<br />
He's so high he can't squeeze under the bed upstairs anymore.<br />
<br />
He's high as a kite.<br />
<br />

<br />
The little whippersnapper has become a whoppersnapper. He's growing. Fast.<br />
<br />
Mom says she misses when he was a wee pup and she could pick him up in one hand.<br />
<br />
Jib says he misses when he was a wee pup and it didn't hurt so much when he bites.<br />
<br />
I DON'T miss when he was a wee pup. Now he knows to stay out of my face. <br />
<br />

Me!<br />
<br />
I had a dream.<br />
<br />
I dreamed I was a puppy again.<br />
<br />
I dreamed I ran. I ran with a stick.<br />
<br />
Jib couldn't get it. It was MINE!<br />
<br />
My stick!<br />
<br />
I woke up running. I was in my bed.<br />
<br />
Where is my stick??<br />
