My last girl passed in 2013. I had her from a 8 week old baby till she was 17 years old. Because she was 99% blind and deaf she could no longer sleep on my bed, for the last 1 1/2 years of her life we slept in my office where I have a futon. Her bed was close to me, I always slept with my hand in her bed so she would know I was always there. She would have her nails clipped, I don't think they had the Dremel yet, her nails would catch in the carpeting. When she passed for weeks I heard her nails catching when ever I was in my office. I never saw her but heard her. Not a day goes by that she is not in my thoughts, at least now I can remember the good, the happy times and smile. Once I adopted Cody, I never heard her nails catching.
