Thank you all for your very kind words, sympathies, stories and thoughts. I've read every comment twice and they make me remember how lucky I am to have family that loves me and whom I love in return.
It's the wet season, here in Portland and the weekend was mostly rainy and overcast, interspersed with beautiful sunny moments. It suited my contemplative mood.
On Saturday, we took the girls for a walk around our neighborhood and enjoyed the fall foliage. I think the cost of having dogs should be covered by medical insurance. Panda and Thea never cease to make me laugh, no matter the circumstances.
On Sunday, we headed to Cannon Beach, for a breakfast of Crabcakes Benedict and a long run on the beach. It was a bit cold and rainy, which didn't make for great photos, but the girls couldn't have been happier and the evening of quiet and calm snuggling on the couch meant that everyone was feeling peaceful.
I guess for me, losing someone ultimately makes me more resolved to value those who are still with me and I think this weekend suited that goal.
I have lots of less depressing stuff to blog soon, including a new knit in progress, and interview with Donna Druchunas, and some more photos of Giselle.
Oh my goodness...where did the puppy go? Thea is already Panda-sized!
i'm glad to read you're starting to feel better, and that leo and the pups are taking great care of you :)
I am a firm believer in the medicinal qualities of puppies... they can pull us out of almost anything, I think...
Great fall foliage and I always love to see the girls at Canon Beach.
