Rainbow Bridge

Tuesday, May 19, 2009

Today was filled with many emotions - happiness, sadness, wonder and joy. I spent most of it with Findlay, Koda and Cheyenne. It has been a year since I had to put Carli down due to her cancer...and it seems like yesterday or it seems like a life-time ago. Jayme sent me a wonderful poem that day about how dogs go up to the Rainbow Bridge when they die and wait for us to join them in heaven...all the while playing, running, sleeping and being good dogs. The thoughts were such a comfort and have continued to be throughout this year.

While walking Findlay in the woods along the river, the sun shone on the water making little rainbows all over the surface of the water. I guess Jayme was right...the Rainbow Bridge is a special place!! Hope that each of you has a great week filled with love, special times with those you hold dear and many, many sloppy doggie kisses!!

Incredible Weekend

Sunday, April 26, 2009

Two days of 80+ weather, with bright sunny skies and a slight breeze. All of that means spring is finally here bringing all the new chores of the summer. We worked on the fence again!! The original fence was built without using concrete for the posts, so many are rotted at 5 inches below the ground level. We took off the old ones, dug, tubed and concreted the new ones and reattached the fence....to SIX POSTS. Oh yeah...and I opened the swimming pool.

The pool opening was pretty easy this year. THANK GOODNESS!! But the best part is my sweetie pie yellow lab puppy is now swimming like the true water baby he was bred to be. I will need to take some video to add to the blog. He is a smart boy, coming in and out at the steps (which are fiberglass and will be fine). Tonight he got too hot playing catch, so he decided to take a swim to cool down. Oh boy! The summer will be very fun!!
