I am not sure why it has been so difficult for me to write blogs for a while. I guess it is just that I have had so much stuff happen. However, I find that as a convenient excuse. I am also finding myself going through a bit of a transition, and I think it might be good for me to write it down, even if some people will not be thrilled with the idea. My only problem is that I do not want to just barf stuff on to the page. Sometimes when you are processing stuff it does not always come out as you think. Just recently I sent an e-mail to a good friend of mine, and instead of being efficient, it came across as a little rude! Fortunately, he is (I think) still a good friend. I know we all do it -- but it seems that it has been happening a little more often lately.
It is a time of sadness for the Hall’s. One of our dogs, Brownie, passedaway on June 30. We got him after Buster. He was about a year older than Buster when weadopted him, or rather he adopted us. 16 years is a long time but it does not hurt any less. Heleaves behind Martin, Carol, Grant, Paige, Rachel, Sakima and Scruffy.We know he is in a better place, his quality of life was declining.He was suffering from a number of aliments including a doggie version of Alheimer's disease and weak and failing back legs. However, he remaiined the 'alpha' dog, or 'leader of the pack', all the way to the end.
We were looking for another dog, to keep Buster in line. We thought maybe a cocker spaniel (I had had them growing up). We felt strongly about using a dog rescue. Someone recommended Second Chance Dog Rescue. We were going to go to their adoption day when it next came up. We had been looking at the pound also. Second Chance was having a little bit of an over crowding problem, so we became 'temporary' foster parents. We will miss him greatly. But we remember him for the undying love he gave us for so many years.
