Having a bad day?

I seem to be living in the Twilight Zone" today. Actually these past few weeks have been pretty interesting. I've met new friends, played with a two year old, and somehow committed myself to run yet another half marathon. The only thing that I didn't get to do was hang out with my horses. Given the challenging times that I seem to be having of late, I think I would prefer to bond with my horses and dogs rather than engaging the human race. Sometimes I don't get people.

To make matters even more challenging, my 16 year old dog (who I have had since he was 4 weeks old) needs to go to a more peaceful place. The last couple of years have been a great challenge for him. He can no longer gracefully walk up and down stairs and he is having "accidents" on a regular basis (2 or 3 times a day). On occasion, he has had "accidents" while he is asleep.

I love him with all my heart. Up until this point in my life, this is the hardest decision that I have had to make. It is a heart-wrenching decision and it is a decision that pains me to no end; however, I cannot be selfish. I am sure he will make many friends in doggie heaven.




Until we meet again.....play safe with your new friends. I love you Mookie!
