this post is in response to the few private emails and personal comments i have had in the last week…

thanks to everyone who (even halfway around the world) claimed they would love to take her in. maddy gets to keep her current routine with my mom and chiclett. she gets to keep her job as dentist, romps in the snow, blueberries and comfy house. if we end up in vancouver this summer, she’ll even get a few months of seagulls and swimming and digging again.

i will naturally miss her tons. but i’m sure she’ll be glad to be rid of the overall internet humiliation. i’ll be back to visit her (and the rest of my family, of course!) as often as possible and she will relocate with me when i finally land a residency back in canada.

i brought maddy home with me from saskatchewan the summer i quit my job and returned back to school. she was only 7 weeks old and i had raised her from before her eyes were open.

i had always assumed i’d stay in british columbia for the entirety of my academic training. i had no idea i’d be planning for the day we’d be separated…

maybe it’s hard to “get” if you’re not a dog person. and even if you are, it’s hard for me to convey how she has been my roommate, laugh-provoker, tear-dryer, and best friend for almost 4 years. i will really miss her a lot.
