Snippets of a Four-Day Weekend

Four days off from work have passed much, much too quickly.  It was a good weekend, and our inner-batteries are fully recharged. We end this holiday weekend with more worry about our girl Wendy.  I've not mentioned her in the past couple of weeks, and I will only say now that I know that our more than 14 years together will end very soon. I know it goes without saying that the loss of our precious, precious Wendy will be a very sad and difficult day for us.  We are taking each day as it comes, and savoring the moments and time we have left with her.  
~Wendy this evening~ 
On the flip-side, here are a few just random photos of some of other moments from this past weekend. The first is a handsome pheasant that we've seen a couple of times near our house.  It's unusual for us to see one, and I'm wondering if someone's Thanksgiving dinner got away?
A sleepy photo of Shadow recharging his inner batteries...
 No doubt so he can stay up late and watch "CC-TV!"
Josh, snoozing on the forbidden chair, which is why it's kept covered, because the dogs don't know that.  He's feeling much, much better and is able to move his neck with no problem.  
A quickly taken photo of a very camera shy Sunny, who after I took this picture quickly exited the room. He's also doing well, and neither us, or the dog-walker have had a moment of trouble with him.  There is a real calmness and confidence about Sunny now and he has truly found his place within the pack 
 I hope you've had a good weekend!

  2. Blessings on Wendy, 14 years is a pretty good span of time for a pup.

    For Todd in the last picture, is he re-charging his batteries also?

  8. Really, really great news about Sunny and Josh. Wendy has had a long and wonderful life. Yes, savor each minute with your precious girl.
    Easton has gimped up his leg somehow and is on very light duty as it heals. Driving him crazy. He's still happy and goofy so its hard to keep him quiet.

  13. I'm so sorry to hear about your sweet Wendy. On the other hand I'm so glad to hear Sunny has been such a good boy lately. You just knew the right thing to do for him was to keep him with you. Love that silly shot of Todd at the end.

  25. So very sad to hear about Wendy. Days of grace.
    My faith is restored concerning Sunny. Because you gave him a huge chance and the time he needed, he as well, as the whole family is reaping the benefits.
    Again, I have to think of the one lost sheep of the hundred that are doing well. He is not to be forgotten but nourished as he is important. And look, at what you and Carl have accomplished!
    Thank you and I will keep your family in my heart.

  27. i am learning. little by little. tiny step by tiny step. to endure the heartache that you live with on a regular basis . . . losing these beloved fur children of yours. they are friends of the best sort.
    and yet you have managed to even make this post light and humorous and give us pictures that make us feel we are part of your wonderful world.
    thank you dear heart.
    my aching but understanding heart
    to yours.
    much love. xoxo
