days before we got Max. And how lonely I was.

There weren’t any toys on the family room floor. There were no sheets or blankets on the furniture. When it got dark, the house was closed up and I didn’t go back out. I didn’t get frustrated not knowing what this creature wanted or what he was thinking.

And I didn’t get puppy kisses, or happy dances when I got home. I didn’t have friends and I didn’t go very far.

I guess I’ll keep him . Cuz I can’t imagine going back to living without him.
