Bitter Sweet

Well, it has been a bitter sweet weekend. Matt and I took Muffin to Tampa yesterday, where a wonderful couple (in their mid 50's) were waiting with open arms for her. Within a few minutes, they were in love. We said our good byes and they were on their way with her. I was ok on the ride home but I am really surprised at how much I missed her last night. I didn't feel like I was even in the same house. No doggie claws hitting the terrazo, no one begging at the dinner table (or cleaning up the spaghetti on the floor), no one whinned at my chair for me to go to bed and no one hogged my side of the bed. I hope that she is happier than I can ever imagine at her new home. Her new owners drove her away in a Mercedes and told us that she was going to live in Palm City, FL on a golf course. They also have another Beagle who is 10 years old so Muffin now has a friend. I think we will miss her for a long time. :-(
