i heard firecrackers, and my immediate thought was 'oh, i better get missy, she'll be scared.' but i can't get her. cause she's not home. and she's in a home where people will love her and she'll have adopted brothers and sisters.

but i miss her little fuzzy body running to the door when i get home. she's not there when i wake up. i squeezed the pillow next to me this morning by mistake. i guess i need some new habits.

and a stuffed animal.
