Monk's last bit of dreaming before waking up and getting out of bed included Princess. The girl was lovely with a full coat brilliantly white. She was asleep at the threshold of our door, as Little Bear and Monk were waiting for her to come out with us for the first rounds. She finally stirs to Monk's calling and proceeds to come along.
One of the funny things about the dream is that it seems Stormy Dreamer is still dead in it. Simple Tree had gotten up early and headed out for an appointment. We also may have been in the process of moving, as the hallway was cluttered with boxes and goods, as Monk kicked some of the stuff aside for Princess to come through.
It was good to see Princess again...

That dream was almost five years after Princess's death. It has been one of the pleasant consolations of life that I have managed to see her pop up in my dreams every once in a while. Which is something of a surprise, since she was mother's dog and we weren't nearly as close as Bo and I were.
It has now been over two weeks since Bo has died, and I still haven't had a vivid dream of him. I dreamed of Princess for the next couple of days immediately after she died. But maybe Bo is still too strong in my conscious thoughts that I haven't truly needed to dream of him. I'm not too worried. In fact, I'm thinking that it will just be that much more moving of an experience when I finally do dream him. Maybe it will make me cry harder than I have yet.
