It's never easy when you have to play God and end a pet's life.
That's what I had to do this past week with my Cindy. I've written about her in this blog many times.
She was a great dog, and a great friend. I always lamented that she wasn't cuddly and full of face licks. But she had her own way of expressing her love and devotion. She was a nudger.
In her glory days, she could run very fast and pull me down the street if she wanted to.
In her last couple of years she lost her eyesight and lost weight. But she always had her happy spirit, and was a trooper until the very end.
The Vet and her staff was wonderful and caring, and helped us through it.
I really do hope all dogs go to Heaven. My dad always joked that when she got there, she'd tell all the other dogs about all the treats and scraps she got daily. And they would think she was lying. But it was true. He is lost without giving half of all his cookies to her. Not to mention table scraps.
I have lots of free time now that I'm no longer walking and feeding my pup. I don't want another dog anytime soon.
Goodbye Cindy--I love you! Wish I could hear you bark incessantly one more time.
If there's anybody out there who still follows my blog, thank you! I haven't written in a couple of years, for a variety of reasons. But I'm still the same as I always was. Just a little older and more tired.
I haven't had WiFi at home for almost a year, and without it, you can't do much with a computer.
As you might know, I'm a terrible procrastinator, and another day, week, and month goes by and I don't accomplish hardly anything.
I feel sorry that every day that goes by that I don't remember in my journal or in the blog, is kind of lost forever. Today I thought I'd type off a quick post on my work computer just to let people know I'm still alive. It's my lunch break, so I don't think I'm breaking any rules.
This post is for anyone who has been trapped like me in a web of the blahs. I'm in a rut that is hard to get out of. I keep plugging away, I just can't seem to get a toehold on reaching my goals. So I'm vowing today to try harder, and even if it's just a tiny bit of progress, it is progress I can build on.
So what has happened since 2017? To me, not much. I am intrigued by the whole notion of making money blogging, and collecting a fortune from affiliate marketing. I know I can do it if I get off my duff and follow through. So that's what I want to work on this year.
I want to get back into all my hobbies, like gardening and photography. I want to get healthier and more active. I want to do a spring cleaning of my house and yard.
I know with the help of God, anything is possible, and I am asking for help! Don't you be afraid to ask for help either! Remember that life is what you make it, and if you don't like what you have, it's up to you to do something about it. Nobody knows that better than me. I have to make my own destiny, and I hope to begin today. Go for it!!!!!
