	Symmetry - 1460 days
	I knew when I picked up Steve on Christmas Eve that we’d only be together for the holidays; his impending ear surgery required him to return to his foster family. Just as we started to slip into a comfortable routine, back he went. I’ve emailed and phoned his foster mom several times since New Years Day, the last time I saw him. Her reports were increasingly grim––not that he wouldn’t recover as right as rain, but rather his return would be delayed by weeks. The surgery went well, and when I spoke with her last weekend, she predicted I could pick him up sometime in early February. While the surgery went very well, she told me, he needed time to get the underlying infection controlled. That’s why I was so surprised and delighted when she called me on Wednesday and said that Steve was all better. She asked if I could pick him up on Saturday, January 21st. I just about busted out crying. I can’t imagine a day when I need him more than I do today, and I’m waiting for the cable guy to come fix an ongoing problem before I drive out to the high desert to have my new black-furred friend hop into the back of the Explorer. We’ll drive home, and I imagine he’ll remember me and the house and the warm comfort we shared while curled up on the couch together. Thank you, Billy, thank you for everything. Tags: guyster, steve

Sometimes I run out of things to say but feel like I should say these non-things anyway.

I can hardly type this through tears that have filled my eyes. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I hope Steve give you lots of doggy hugs and cuddles today when you get home with him. He was definitely meant to be with you. Today, especially.

Steve is a gift. He's such a sweet, good boy. And a real cuddler.

Thinking of you, Terry.

And yes, what a very sweet picture of Billy.

He's so super cute in that picture. We were out at a club, and there was a photographer who was taking "studio" shots and he zeroed in on Billy. Billy got shy and started to back away, but I pushed him there, and I'm glad I did.

	Thinking of you, kid

Hugs there kiddo. Maybe next year you'll be posting a photo of yourself and Steve. I hope today brings back a flood of memories of the happier moments before 1/22/02.

I'll post a photo of Steve and me sooner than that, but I know what you mean. I just love showing pictures of Billy.

I can't imagine being without my Lola, so I'm very happy to hear you're going to be reunited with your four-legged friend so soon =o)

Billy looks like an innocent little boy in that photo. :oD

He was an innocent little boy, and you're right. The picture captures that.

Thank you, hon. I haven't been on here a lot lately, but I hope things are going great for you.

I'm okay, and I think your bangs look seriously cute.

Thank you for thinking about me.
