Sad Day

Bosley and his best friend Esa, who is lost and confused without him

Today is not so good. I had to put my dog down this morning. He was an older dog, 16 years old, and has a lot of health problems but it was still hard to do.

Bosley was a beagle, a very loving dog, though he was very naughty. He liked to get into the garbage at night and strew it all over the kitchen. He was my shadow, he would follow me all over the house. I'm not a dog person so I have no idea why he choose me but we had an understanding. he was my companion as I did laundry, and kept me company at the lake when all the others went fishing.

I will miss Bosley,

Rae

Happy Thoughts

I was looking over my blog and realized that … I whine … a lot!!!

So I have to tell you about the other day:

I came home from coffee with a friend and found my daughter, Cece, sitting on the floor next to the toilet white as a sheet. I did the mom thing and gave her Pepto-Bismol. She felt better soon after and I thought that was the end of it. But she came into the living room with me and not only sat on my lap but curled up as though she was a little girl again … for those that don’t know Cece is 14 years old … but for the next few hours she was my baby again. It was wonderful and our relationship has been much calmer since. We have not had a good row in weeks!

It’s not really an aww moment but it’s as close as I can get with teenagers … there are days where I miss my babies. Those of you with toddlers are looking at the screen like I am nuts! I have tried to enjoy each stage that my kids have gone through and has some success some of the time LOL
