Just a Note Before Bed

Dear Grammie,

I'm headed off to bed shortly but I wanted to drop you a note before I go. I've been having trouble sleeping again and I keep forgetting to take my melatonin. Duh!

Your little dog has been so good about going out to go potty, even in the cold weather. You'd be so proud! I sure am.

Went over to your house and helped Mum finish up the inventories of your china and glassware. You had some really beautiful pieces. I'm keeping a few of the Royal Doulton pieces that remind me of you. Thanks!

Your house seems so dark and empty without you and your furniture in it. It echos and I don't like it. Even Peanut thought it was strange when I brought her over. She stayed in her crate almost the whole time, which is unheard of behavior for her! She didn't even want to play ball. I think she misses you, Grammie.

Speaking of Peanut, I got her new collar in the mail a couple days ago. It's red, just like you wanted. It has her name and our phone number embroidered on it so she doesn't have to wear her tags all the time. That should really cut down on the welts she gets from the metal. I think if she had more fur then the metal wouldn't irritate her skin so much, but alas, she is a shorty-fur dog. I'll still clip her tags to her when she's outside and when we go in the car. I'm going to call the vet in the next couple days and make an appointment for her to be chipped like my other dog and the cats. I don't want to lose little Peanut.

Mum made it back to the City okay. It was late, but she made it safely, which was what I was worried about. There are still a few things left at your house, but she'll be back in a few weeks and we'll finish then. I'm kind of kicking myself for not taking your house when I had the chance. At least we wouldn't have had to rush so much. I guess that's just life, though.

I'll write more tomorrow, I promise. I'm just so tired now and chilled from sitting outside waiting for Peanut to go potty. I've never seen a dog take so long to do her business! We're gonna freeze this winter!

I miss you, Grammie!


Love you always,
Kit
