Feeling lost …

Posted on February 26, 2017 by Ann Schwartz • Leave a comment

There’s nothing I can put my finger on, other than the loss of McKenna and Lady, but I haven’t felt inspired to sew or craft, clean or do chores. I am resting, but I don’t feel rested. I got around to clearing just a couple of items from the kennel building, or at least that … Continue reading →

Ashes to ashes and letting go …

Posted on February 21, 2017 by Ann Schwartz • 1 Comment

I would say that I’m starting to let go of the grief a bit. I was going to call it, “debilitating grief”, but really, I’m able to function. I just feel very unmotivated and I am content to stay that way for another day. I traveled to Dunster this morning to pick up Lady’s cremains … Continue reading →

Mending …

This morning, I did not wake up crying. Felt like a small miracle. I had not felt so grief stricken that I hurt physically, not over any “loss”. Only one time previously, when Myrtle told me for hours how little she thought of me, had I thought I’d have to be hospitalized for “heartbreak” pain. … Continue reading →

Weeping …

Okay, so I wasn’t going to belabour the point (of our loss and grief), but: this is my blog “and I’ll cry if I want to. You’d cry too if it happened to you…”. Those are words borrowed from an old pop song, if you don’t realize. It will get better, I know it will. … Continue reading →

Lady …

Posted on February 17, 2017 by Ann Schwartz • Leave a comment

Gary and I are saying to each other, as we sit here finishing our toast to Lady, “She was a once-in-a-lifetime dog.” As we mark the sudden passing of our “younger” dog who was also a senior but not as old as McKenna, we feel numbness and disbelief. We had hoped that Lady’s symptoms might … Continue reading →

McKenna, Lady …

I was going to mention the awful absence in our house now that little McKenna is gone. It matters that she lived a happy life with a family who loved everything about her, and experienced a relatively peaceful passing. So I’ve said my peace about Shelly’s dog who retired in our care. We were sure … Continue reading →

McKenna …

Posted on February 14, 2017 by Ann Schwartz • 1 Comment

This morning, Shelly and I took McKenna to be “put to sleep” by Dr. Vogel. It was time; we could see that the little dog was not enjoying life one bit and in fact was suffering some. Still, we feel heartbroken. This dog was a friend and confidante to Shelly for many years, through some … Continue reading →

Wally, Clemina, Duke, Timber, Toby, Rosie, etc.

Posted on February 9, 2017 by Ann Schwartz • Leave a comment

Wally and Clemina are both large Great Pyrenese cross dogs, not related but part of the same human family. They are both very respectful and quite easy going. Below are Duke and Timber. Duke is getting to be an “old timer” … quite deaf and sedate. He doesn’t suffer while he stays here: just hangs … Continue reading →

Binou, Daizy, Fanny Mae …

Posted on February 8, 2017 by Ann Schwartz • 1 Comment

What a wonderful day I’ve had with three of my best canine friends plus our own family pets. I love seeing the brilliant couple who is owned by Binou, Daizy and Fanny, but our visits are limited to dropping-off and picking-up. I laughed out loud when I realized what Binou’s “toy du jour” was! You … Continue reading →

Disappointed …

Posted on February 7, 2017 by Ann Schwartz • Leave a comment

I was having s pretty awesome day until I heard that my elderly renter is saying scathing things about me again.  Gary asks, “When are you going to tell her that she can’t treat you like that?”, which is a perfect question to ask, so justified. But my problem with teaching someone how to treat … Continue reading →
