Last Year, late fall or early winter, I got locked out of my blog and I am so computer savvy that I remained locked out until today, The really sad part is I am not sure how or why I got in today when I havn't been able to for months. The other sad thing is that so many things have happened that I could have, should have blogged about and now that I am on I feel unprepared. So, I will just start with whatever comes to mind first.
A few weeks ago we had to put our German Shepherd Six down. I wanted to write that we "lost", in fact I did write lost, then backspaced and put down a more accurate account. We didn't lose her, although I have felt a great loss since her death. We had her put down, even that terminology feels wrong, we had her "euthanized" that is the correct term, even if I am uncomfortable with it. A couple of years ago we went through this same ordeal with Poppy, our beloved Lab. She became a $5000 dog. This was done for our sake, not hers. When Six became ill and was bleeding heavy vaginally the really sad part for me was seeing and sensing the shame she felt for making a mess in the house. She was a clean dog, I think she would have crossed her legs all night rather than make a mess in the house.
That is the sad part of 2015. There was much joy and happiness also. Christmas and New Years is always a happy time here. This definitely is "The House Where Love Lives" Now that I am back I hope to be on almost daily for the winter, as the driveway is long and drifted with snow and my car is not 4 wheel drive. This is my hibernation time. Me, my computer, the Television and lots of Library books.
