Loss of Tiger

Irina has dealt with her first loss of a pet. My Mom's dog, Tiger, who we've had for approx 16 years passed away last week. As most everyone knows, we spent 4 months living with my Mom before coming to Okinawa while Robert was at a school. She became very fond of the dogs and cats at my Mom's house. So, every time that she talks to my Mom she always wants to say hi to her puppies...Tiger and Babette.
Before calling my Mom last week, I told her that Tiger had gone to puppy heaven. She, of course, wanted to still be able to call and talk to him. I told her that she could talk to Tiger any time she wanted to in her dreams and that he'd give her puppy kisses on her nose. We call MomMom last week and she gets on the phone.
MomMom..you only got 1 puppy now? You sad MomMom?
It's been a week and there's been no mention of Tiger. We call my Mom today and of course she wants to talk.
MomMom...you still sad about Tiger? You still just have 1 puppy?
She then chats it up with Babette and goes back to playing.

Such a sweet sympathetic girl we have!
