Last Christmas...2007

One of the first things we found when taking out decorations this year was Maegan's stocking. It was very special, we had made it for her on her first Christmas. Also, every year, we make ornaments, so there were many Maegan memories on our tree. Maegan really enjoyed previous Christmases- she loved being next to you while you opened gifts, and just watching all the action. That last one, she enjoyed decorating the tree, but really hung back on the holiday itself. All the pictures I have of her on Christmas are like this- she is in the background, watching. Her gigantic t-shirt bandage is covering her sutures and drains. One of the worst things about bandages and greyhounds is their fine hair and delicate skin- tape just rips them both off. Her head is positioned low because her breathing was getting difficult for her. Her medications may have had an effect on her behavior, then again, maybe she knew. We missed her this Christmas.
