Maxine, Sweety...
You are so pretty... and fluffy. Ahhh.. you are so sweet. You know I'm going to miss you. I hope that the time apart isn't too long. I really wish I could bring you with me, but perhaps I will be able to bring you to Mom's house for X-mas break (cause Sweety, that's almost a month that we could spend together). I will have to ask my mom, and find out what Verna thinks too.
But if I can, you know I will. It will be a long trip, but I think it would be nice to have some company. And you would get to sit in the front seat with me. How does that sound? Hmmm. I think I will let you think about it. If you want to meet Mikeyman, and Hyper Penny, and Crabby Teek, then you can come along. I know you won't have any trouble making friends with my mom. I understand that that's a lot of people to meet at once, but you are such a sweetheart that I know you won't have any problems. Besides, you would be coming home with me in May, so this would be like an extended vacation for you. I hope you like the idea, sweety. I will really, really, really, really, really, really miss you. You know that, though. *Smooch* I will see you in a little over a week. Please don't get mad that I can't bring you along. I haven't made the arrangements for this break, but for the next one, I will have an answer when I get back. I will miss you, sweety.

Ahh....Maxine....Sweety.... You are so pretty... I will miss you..... *tears welling up in eyes* Look, I really miss you already. I promise when I see you next that I will have a little present for you that I made especially for you. How does that sound? *she squirms in my lap, wanting to be petted some more* I knew you would like that idea. Ba-bye, Sweety. I will be thinking about you a lot, Maxine. Ba-bye....

And then I would have to go, and feel bad that I couldn't do anything about this break, but such is life. I hope to talk to everyone to get things arranged for X-mas break. Because I know that it would be enough time for her to adjust and it would be too long to go without seeing her, because I L O V E her personality. I know, I love MikeyMan's as well, and I don't know how I live without his for such long periods of time, but I have learned that when I am around him that time is even more valuable.

It's amazing what pets can teach you.

Ummm... so much for keeping this entry short. Off I go... wish me a safe trip.
Thanks, loyal readers
