Happy Birthday Opi...

...He would've been 77 today. I hope he's having an awesome party up there in heaven with God, Omi, Grandma, and my childhood pets. I'm sure he'd be taking good care of them for me. <3
We went to the cemetery this afternoon ( once I was able to get out of bed again- I've been sick all week! :( ) to put flowers where his ashes are buried. We took Frankie with us, but wrapped him in a blanket like a baby, in the hope it wouldn't offend anyone that I brought a dog if he acted human enough!?? There were other dogs there anyway, which was nice to see. Pets are part of the family, and I'm sure they miss the loved ones they lose too.
Like I told Opi I would, I named Frankie after him- Gus being his middle name. And I put pictures around the house, like I promised. We didn't forget. I hope he knows that.
I would have liked to do even more in honor of his Birthday, but I wasn't even well enough to go to the Vet this morning. I have extra dogs to take care of and assessments in the next few weeks too, so I'm hoping my energy will be back quickly!!
