Jaz flickers on the outside of my vision. My brain tries to reconcile her absence by placing shadows; my heart breaks when I have to remind myself that she's not there.
Today has been one long snowfall, what Mr. Hammy and I call "insidious snow". The fall seems inconsequential until you realize that it's been going on for 12 or 14 hours...
The snow and wind wiped Jaz's footprints from the backyard. Was it harder to look out the window and see them, or look out and not see them?

Passing of a Good Dog
We had to put Jaz down yesterday.
She wasn’t well Wednesday night; couldn’t get off the couch and wouldn’t eat her dinner. I took her to the vet, and they kept her overnight. Xrays yesterday morning showed a mass in her abdomen – cancer. Nothing they could do.
We went at 12:30, to be with her. Told her she was a good girl. Gave her smooches. Held her as she left us.

Never met a lap she didn’t like
These pictures are 4 or 5 years old - Jaz in her prime.
Jaz this summer....
