<p class="MsoNormal">Last year when it was time to pick a calendar day for the
2011 Daily Drool calendar, I was in ICU with pneumonia.<span style=""> </span>I wanted so badly to get Oliver in the Drool
calendar that I had a friend navigate through my email to secure a day for
Oliver.<span style=""> </span>I never dreamed then that it
would be Oliver’s last year in the Drool calendar.<span style=""> </span>My sweet boy made his way to the bridge on
New Year’s Day.<span style=""> </span>He was the light of my
life and I miss him so much.<span style=""> </span>Today’s
picture (2/23) is two of my guy.<span style=""> </span>I was
taking pictures of him sleeping and caught one with that “annoyed- how dare you
wake me” look.<span style=""> </span>I couldn’t resist.<span style=""> </span>It is the perfect summary of my man’s life – “comfortable”
and “attempting to resume being comfortable.”<span style="">
</span>I still love my sweet, sweet calendar boy and miss him every day!!</p>
