Evan From Heaven

Saturday, December the 3rd was my great grandsons first Birthday.  I have 4 great grandchildren, I told you I was old.  They are Evan, Alexandra, (Lexie) Kailum and Logan.  All four babies were born within 8 months of each other.  I hope that they grow up knowing each other and liking and enjoying each other.  My children don't know their cousins, mostly because my sister's 7 children all live in the Untied States.  I may make a trip to see them this spring or summer.  Most of them live in Florida, one that I know of lives in New York State.  I would like to find a way for my children to know my sisters children.  I will work on that.

I worked Friday and Saturday and part of today.  Thursday night and Friday we got 19" of snow in Paisley.  I am beginning to think it will be that kind of winter, which may mean that I get to work this blog a lot.  I was looking Ted and Babes 2 dogs and 4 cats Friday night and Saturday until about noon.  I left their home about noon and drove to Norm and Sue's in Walkerton where I cared for their 4 dogs.  They have 3 Yorkies and a Border Collie cross.  I love all these dogs but have a special affection for Maizie, their 12 year old Yorkie.  She is blind and deaf, but she has a special quality that almost speaks to me.  I took her in the bed with me last night, she was shivering like she was cold, and perhaps she was, she has a little coat she wears but she has very little hair, so when I put her for her last pee last night she was shivering when she came in.  I put her under the covers with me and she snuggled into me and stopped shivering.  She slept through the night.  When the other dogs woke up for their morning pee at about 7:00a.m., I took her out for a minute then brought her back into the bed and we slept for a couple of more hours.  I may not ever have the opportunity to be that close to Maizie again and I am so glad that we had this time together.  All of the animals I cared for this weekend are special to me.  They are also lucky little creatures; they are all loved by the people who share their lives.  I consider myself to be a fortunate person to know them, the animals and their keepers.  it takes a special breed of people to have these animals who are all so loving and give so much pleasure.  Enough for now.  perhaps more later.
