Always by my side

A couple of years ago I lost my very special 4 footed friend. This happened very suddenly, and it was a shock to me for several months. My friends name was Oscar, a mini doxie dog. He and I had a very special relationship, he was always at my sideand if my husband would go to bed early, Oscar would stay by me all night watching t.v. Due to some dental surgery he had a year earlier when he would lay his head down to sleep he would snore loudly. But, you get used to these noises and don\'t really hear them. One night I was sitting alone in the living room channel surfing (husband in bed)when I heard Oscar snoring from the spot where his bed used to sit in the living room. I thought to myself well, Oscar is out like a light--when it hit me that it is Oscar! The moment that I acknowledged it the sound stopped. It\'s nice to know that he was with me then as he had been in life.
