Rain, Ice and Sun

Between the ice, the rain, the sun we had our time out and indoors. Is this really summer?

See the gallery.

Cosmo, Pixie, Leo departed. Logan and Panda too. A dear friends mom died so Nathan is heading out tonight to be with everyone. I have to hold down the fort. We have had 2 people die that we know - offline - long-term. We have to remind ourselves that what we say could be the last thing we say to people. So, it has been a week not so good with many moments - and that's what life is about - moments. 

But the dogs get us by. They make you laugh and they make you savour the yearning to swim but mother nature has something else in mind. You will see in the gallery the hail we got today for the 2nd day in a row.

We also got the adirondack chair - a red one and Dennis is screaming about building it. Had to replace the one that is falling apart before someone sits in it and falls down. Dennis says - its perfectly okay. Yeah if you sit on it the right way. Now you wonder why I laugh....

Looks like Moxie and Rocco comes tomorrow. fun - fun - fun!

Sorry about your friend. It is true life is short and we never know what tomorrow brings. That is why my philosophy is never to go to bed angry and enjoy everyday. Rusty is a huge part of our life and we love him to pieces. He knows when you are not yourself and has kisses.

Good news. Our kitchen so finished. The contractors left today and they said goodbye to us and a hug for Rusty. He was so good. He sat watching them like he was really fascinated with what they were doing. He's so smart. Hope the weather is better tomorrow

Sorry to hear about your friend. Some of us are in an age bracket now where more and more people that we know pass on. A friend's husband passed away suddenly a few weeks ago, he was Russell's age. Makes you appreciate each day to the fullest. Life is short, let's enjoy it with our beautiful Havanese :-)

I'm sorry for the sad news. Darlah, you are so right. Taking in the moments are so important. Creating memories are important. Being in the present to appreciate the beauty of everything is important. I work in the intensive care unit so I see life and death as a fine line. We never know what will happen the next second of our lives. But since I got our pretty Havanese, I feel like I'm smiling every minute when I wake up until the last second I go to sleep. It's the happiness and joy they bring out of us, it's quite magical!

Sylvia: You are right. They make us smile. Tenshi would make the grumpiest person smile. She has infectious fun in her.

Anne: Yes - too young - eating right - exercising - you never know.
