PARTING -- SUCH SWEET SORROW . . .


Nellie seemed to know there was something different about the day. Maybe she knows Hallie never stays long, maybe she noticed the different dress, for sure she knows about suitcases and coats. Maybe she even caught the "g" word -- go -- which undoubtedly entered conversation now and then. And somehow she seemed to know this change would not involve her. So, when Hallie said, "Well, I'd better go," Nellie got off her pillow and laid on the floor, paws outstretched, head resting down between her legs.

"Oh -- is she sulking?" asked Hallie. "Yes, but she'll get over it," I replied.

So, Hallie and Nellie shared a tender good-bye before Hallie left for the airport. Then Nellie climbed back on her pillow to continue her nap.

But -- Nellie just doesn't know that Hallie will be back next week. KW

  1. Love this picture! And Hallie, you look so beautifully professional in your skirt and black heels. This is definitely a photo for your album. :-)

  2. She did look great, though the photo does not show her to advantage.
