She'd been a faithful companion since 7 weeks old, watched over the kids since their birth, and protected us from all the squirrels invading my territory. I look back at our 15 years together with fondness, though it still pains me to miss her.

Although they are painful, they are also sweet and connected to joy as well. I love what you said about feeling obligated to participate in this community. As I read through the blogs each month I notice that many participants are connected and seem to know each other, at least professionally. I look forward to being connected as well (which is something I struggle with). Thanks for sharing this month. Also, Sasquatch made my day.Steph W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17928781539295600653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2115704751652270450.post-49225373815875133272020-07-02T15:50:57.531-04:002020-07-02T15:50:57.531-04:00I'm doing fine.

My husband decided the younger boys deserved the "puppy" experience, so we got Grizzly. My brother had just died and it was like that silly dog knew. Even as a pup, he'd follow me wherever I went. I couldn't even shower without him napping on the bathroom rug. I always told my husband, if the dog was human, he'd been a stalker. <br /><br />I always recommend getting another.
