Sadness and more sadness
In general my life is or has been very good. Some days are sad, but this has been a really sad day. I have had Bella and Courtney as constant companions for more than twelve years. They were my company on that long strange diversion through Texas and then very patient travelers when we moved out here to Richmond. Maybe more importantly, they have been my family and were a part of many memories Marcel and I have created together.
Courtney died four weeks ago and after a week of suffering, today I took Bella to the veterinarian as her kidneys failed and she drifted away. Now I am left with Danny, the stepchild and once “the dog from hell” we rescued when we lived in Central Texas. I hope I can continue to treat him with the kindness he deserves.
My honest thoughts? I have not been this tearful in years. Some days are just plain sh*t.


















Dave, My condolences for your loss. That is tough. Losing pets is always difficult. -Anthony
Thanks Anthony
I'm sorry for your loss Dave. Having had dogs my whole life I know how large a place they have in our hearts. I still get choked up at times thinking of my dogs years after they are gone. Take care of yourself and pet Danny on the head for me. Steve Williams Scooter in the Sticks
Thanks Steve, glad to know you are still following.
