Petey has been gone for almost a year now. It has been a big adjustment to life without a dog, particulary with the departure of as big a personality as his. But the freedom is nice and the memories are sweet.
I think it is worth noting that Petey was our biggest asset in being accepted as new neighbors in Harlem. More prople knew him by name than knew us. Walking him in the early morning, afternoon or at bedtime was an occasion to say hello, catch up on what was happening, and make new friends. But I don't miss it in winter weather.
We still have his ashes in a box in the house. Maybe soon we will find the right place to scatter them.
