Walking with my dogs in spirit...

It was time to take my evening walk. It would also be the first time I took a walk without Lily at my side.
I dragged, I putzed and with a heavy heart I finally pushed myself out the door. My legs felt like lead weights as I moved forward. My hands were empty, no leash to hold, no beautiful white Lily to talk to and admire.  And then they were there… I sensed them, felt them and could envision the 3 of them walking with me.  Lily was in front on the left side, Kenyon was to her right and Maxine was at my right side.  Lily was happily giving Kenyon body bumps and looking at him with adoration.  She had her buddy back and she was  loving every step.   I felt so honored and blessed that they were with me. My steps were easier, quicker as I watched them walk with me. I laughed at remembering when I first got Lily and she would never pee on our walks and would always watch Kenyon do his business.  After Kenyon passed, she would imitate him and get as close to a tree or pole as she could, like a boy dog, to pee on it, cracked me up every time.  To see Maxine at my side, looking up at me with love, I felt much better, comforted.  They are all happy, loved and at peace. Though I miss their physical presence, I know their spirits are always with me.  Xoxoxo to all my furbabies.
