my Christmas angle

I waited the whole day and up until 11 o'clock at night before she finally arrived in the arms of her breeder. Right from the minute she joined our family she was my girl.
She was stubborn,sweet,crazy and beautiful and when I had to put her down on January 4th of this year it was devestating.
I miss feeling her curled up on the couch with me, and hearing her snore. I miss the feel of the soft fur on her ears and the smell of her fur after she'd been playing in the snow.
I've put her Christmas coller on the top of my tree so that she still has a part in our special time of year as the tree angle and she has a special place on my computer desk so that she is always near.
