I had a marathon grooming as we had a number of dogs departing. We had visitors. Nathan entertained. I groomed - not my dogs but everyone else's. I played catch up on mine tonight.
We head into Ottawa on Wednesday again. Dennis will hold down the fort and we will go extra early and come back the same night. This will be our new norm. It's hard when they do not live locally.
Dani gets her surgery November 2nd. Dennis is getting migraine after migraine and I think it must be related to the closed doors and lack of fresh air but maybe that's not true. My neck still hurts but I am getting used to sleeping sitting up and it is helping. Everyone that is coming to the door is dealing with upheaval - family issues to health issues. I wish I had a magic wand.
The dogs are wonderful. No matter what is going on, they make you smile. They are medicine in a hairy body.
Politics is driving me crazy. I hate the celebration of attacks, excuses for a murder, women's rights fading etc. Most times I shut off the tv. Singing on a trip to Ottawa is better than listening to the latest on Trump. One has to be proactive. I am a Canadian and an American so I want to tune out but if I do will I be responsible by not trying to create a change? Enough politics.
I have a long distant friend - we have been friends for a very long time - back when atari came out with a computer lol - well she had to put down her cat. I think about how I felt about Risa and I feel so genuinely sorry for her being in this position. Our animals should live longer. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we were able to just send vibes that would eliminate emotional pain?
The photo above is Spirit - Leti's daughter. She is an amazing dog. Those of you with multiple dogs get the reality that each dog brings something different. If you tap into their passion - well the memories pile up. One of our passions is swimming and till next year we will dream about warm weather. But we so try to make that white stuff fun for the dogs. Shovelling those paths though is a struggle. LOL
Happy Monday everyone tomorrow...
