Digging up Memories

  • Mood: Happy
  • Music:
About a year ago, some time after our dogs were given away, I stuffed every single thing related to dogs- videos, music, photos, toys, and old dog equipment -into a box, taped it up, and stuffed it into the back of my closet, not to be opened until I got a dog again. Though it'll be another two months until I get my Beagle, I decided I might as well do something and I fished the dusty box out of the closet. I was surprised at how heavy it was. Here's what I found:

-Three plush dogs; one beanbag puppy, one old Pound Puppy hound, and an ancient crocheted Odie
-Three nylon leashes; two red and one pink
-Two tennis balls
-One plastic Double Diner dog dish
-One nylon car tie-down (clips to a seatbelt)
-One blue nylon tandem dog-walking attachment
-One plush 'Wrinkles' dog puppet
-'Iron Will', 'Beethoven', 'Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey', '101 Dalmatians' (animated and live action), and 'Shiloh' VHS tapes
-A CD full of dog-related pictures and video
-'Air Bud' DVD
-A Dog Lovers' Magnetic Poetry Kit
-A notebook full of old pictures of Annie, Pocahontas, and Poquito
-A dog palm brush

Whew!  I decided to put the toy dogs on display, put the movies away, and wash all the old dog supplies. Now the leashes are hanging up on a pegboard in the corner I have designated for my future dog.

Some memories are made to be forgotten. Some are meant to be remembered. Others can hurt for a while, but when the time comes for healing and renewal, you can look back on them without regrets.
