Onward

Truth


We've had hot weather all week. Humid but not tropical. We desperately need rain. This is so un-Minnesota. Slowly, I am de-furring the house. No matter what, I could not keep up with the shedding the German Shedder put out. It's very strange to sweep or vacuum and have it stay fur free. I'm going to become downright lazy. We were able to give Bill's brother the dog food and almost a full box of Kirkland dog biscuits. He has an elderly lab. I'm happy he could use it, rescues don't want anything that's been opened.

Thank you all for your kindness, I really do appreciate you all.

The strange Weather persists everywhere and Climate Changes are deeply concerning to me, its happening faster than I thought it would. I'm glad you are able to find someone who can use what you had for Keetah, whenever we've Lost the last of a particular Pet I have to get rid of everything right away or I'm a blubbering mess every time I see their stuff. I even felt that way when the Beta Fish finally passed and had to get rid of all of his stuff too... and he'd had a good long Life for a Fish.

Lori, sometimes you have to give in at let it wash over you. It's been a week and I am much better.

Sandra said...

Dawn, it's deeply concerning to me, too. Unfortunately,, those who have the power to do something about won't.I've been slowly clearing the house od dog hair. She was a champion shedder. A fish is still something you care for, so it's normal its death would affect you.

Sandra said...

e, thank you. We love them, they are our family.

My heart still breaks often when I think of Mr. Morris, so the hurt won't leave right away.
Thank goodness you have your cats who are so endearing. One day at a time.

Yes that saying is so very true. WE still miss Chance everyday...it isn't easy. Be kind to yourself

Sandra said...

Val, I understand completely. We spend all of our time with them. I have become a cat lady. Don't tell anyone!

Sandra said...

Far Side, It is true. I felt so full of grief when Howard died I couldn't function. I am doing better. She didn't suffer one bit and and was happily heading to the mailbox. It helps.

I do not think the pain of loss ever leaves, it just changes. What does increase is the gratitude of having had your loved one and remembering the joy they brought into your life.
Take Care,
Kaye

That's a good way to think about it, Kaye.
