Thank you for keeping Mattie's memory alive!

Dear Mattie Blog Readers,

It means a great deal to us that you take the time to write to us and to share your thoughts, feelings, and reflections on Mattie's battle and death. Your messages are very meaningful to us and help support us through very challenging times. To you we are forever grateful. As my readers know, I promised to write the blog for a year after Mattie's death, which would mean that I could technically stop writing on September 9, 2010. However, at the moment, I feel like our journey with grief still needs to be processed and fortunately I have a willing support network still committed to reading. Therefore, the blog continues on. If I should find the need to stop writing, I assure you I will give you advanced notice. In the mean time, thank you for reading, thank you for having the courage to share this journey with us, and most importantly thank you for keeping Mattie's memory alive.


As Mattie would say, Ooga Booga (meaning, I LOVE YOU)! Vicki and Peter

Tuesday, January 23, 2018 -- Mattie died 436 weeks ago today.


Tonight's picture was taken in February of 2004. Mattie was almost two years old. I snapped this picture because I thought Mattie was hysterical. He wanted to try my waterproof shoes on and then decided to shuffle around our home in these shoes. All I know is it was never boring with Mattie. 









Quote of the day: Making a donation is the ultimate sign of solidarity. Actions speak louder than words. ~ Ibrahim Hooper




Though Sunny is supposed to be on shortened walks, you can see that he still is VERY eager to look and chase squirrels. Keeping him from running is a feat. Even though he is standing up on his hind legs, the interesting part about all of this is he won't walk on his bandaged leg. So literally he hopped and walked on three legs all day! Tomorrow we see the vet again, and we shall see what happens with the bandage. 








Meanwhile, believe it or not, I spent a good portion of my day updating our website. Specifically the page that lists our corporate sponsors and all our donors. This was a totally laborious process, which is why I don't do it every year. But if you go to the link below, you can see our...........

18 Corporate Sponsors
450 Supporters

All our supporters enable us to make the Mattie Miracles possible!
