I've been so busy I have not had time to keep up with the posts for the last week. I hope you all are well and doing as well as possible
It seems so soon after losing Jasper, but I decided after grieving for my other dog for 6 months and spending Jasper's last 2 months grieving that the house was just too empty, so I GOT A PUPPY to keep us company To truly show how insane I am ... it's not just any puppy it is the one I have ALWAYS wanted. An english mastiff, a 6 week old (I know too early to leave but someone kicked him out) roughly 10 pound ball of destruction. Soon to be a 180 pound MONSTER ~laugh~ I'll leave the trials and tribulations to your imagintaion. Not to mention showing Ducky, my old boy enough attention to praise his patience with the new kid.
The same day I found him, I learned my estranged Grandmother passed away. i have not seen any of that family since I was 2 years old at my biological father's funeral, their choice to begin with. 10 years later they wanted to meet and I chose not to. We exchanged a few phone calls, and letters over the years. I have been contemplating how to handle showing my respect and keeping my boundaries with the rest of her family for many years. I'm still not sure exactly what I want to do ... go to the funeral, send flowers, nothing .... I am leaning toward going to the funeral with my brother, who they know (he grew up in the same small town) .. the son of my father of my heart. And making a quick escape if possible.
Home life is normal .. well my normal ~laugh~ no problems and I am working my program. Worried over his reaction to the puppy some, he was very attached to Jasper. It still hurts us both but the new one was a good idea. Other than that no time to dwell on any situation, or even pay much attention to what he is doing. Although I have that funny feeling in the back of my head going on that something is not as it should be, Time will tell. And life will go on.
I'll do my best to keep up with everyone's posts, the board and everyone on it are always in my prayers. I wish you all peace. And now I have to pack up the puppy and get to work ... thank heavens I can take him with me a couple days a week .. maybe I will still have furniture by the time he is trained
