We survived our first week without Ukie. The first couple of days our other dog, Pilar, would run through the house looking in every room. We assume she was looking for Ukie. Heartbreaking. 

    I gave Pilar a bath the other day so she was nice and fluffy and smelled good. It's been raining the last couple of days (still hot and humid though). This is what she looked like this morning after rolling around in the grass. We miss you, Ukie.

    We are calling Pilar "our last dog" as we will probably not get another dog after her. At least not for a while. We'd like to travel, especially overseas, and won't be able to take a dog along. Fortunately for us, my Mother-in-law has been very willing to house sit and dog sit for us but you hate to ask too often. She has a little poodle dog.

    Just so you know what Pilar is supposed to look like, here's a photo of her in full fluffy mode. This was taken when we were camping in Mackinaw City, Michigan in 2009.
