We journey on regardless of the consequences. We are compelled to go forward. That is the drive for life we all have. All of us. Every human, dog, bird, tree and bush. All of us. We must go ahead, through time. Our drive for life makes us. If we stop that drive, lose that drive, we lose our will to survive, to live and exist no more. We only live if we have the will to live.

We Journey On Regardless

I Thought It was Depressing
March 23, 2011
I thought it was depressing to wake up this morning to all this snow once again. But then I saw robins looking for worms in the cold water and knew I had nothing to complaint about. I hadn’t flown thousand of miles from the warm, sunny south, anticipating the weather to be ready for spring, not still immersed in winter.

Today, Things Are Not Right
March 18, 2011Today, things are not right with the world. 8-9 magnitude earthquake, tsunami destruction, nuclear meltdowns. Life will never be the same. Death. Unholy hell. Where to begin? Where to start once more?
Japan is not alone. We’re all in this. We all repeat the lesson until we learn what we need from it. Did so many people, creatures, life have to die to learn this lesson?
Is it that we are not in control of our world? That we only live here, exist here, flourish here but for the grace of the rest of the universe? We must learn to live in harmony and know we are not all powerful. No matter the technology we develop. We are not alone either.
Give and you will get back.

I Woke the Other Night
February 8, 2011I woke the other night and there lying beside of me, was my husband sound asleep. He was obviously in a very deep, relaxed sleep. The weird thing was he was yawning!
If yawning indicates that you are sleepy, how could he be sleepy in his sleep?

Devastating News
December 7, 2010A few years ago I had the pleasure of meeting a lady named Melissa at DVG Nationals.
Last Saturday her and her husband, John had a devastating house fire. They lost 3 of their old Malinois, one of which was the first dog she ever titled Bouchle (13) and Nash (11), her first dog that took her to the DVG nationals, Bonsi, a Flash son that was her husband John’s dog. 2 of their cats, Melissa’s parrot that she had for 21 years and Dennis the French Bulldog were also lost in the fire. A total of 9 animals lost their lives.
Such a devastating tragedy this is.
Melissa is a strong person, but this is enough to bring anyone down. She’s had most of these animals for many, many years and is now just trying to get through the days.
Our hearts and prayers are with you Melissa and John.

Haley
November 25, 2010
Yesterday I received an email that is devastating to all concerned.
Haley, a rescue rottie we fostered many years ago, has a bone tumor on her upper leg joint that’s advanced.
There is no good news.
This little girl is no ‘Just another rottie’ oh no! She changed how they dealt with any rottweiler that came into the Windsor Humane Society.
Before Haley, all rottweilers were euthanized upon entering the system there. She was their ‘test’ rottie. If she could become a loving, trustworthy pet, then they would reconsider their policy.
For the past 10 – 11 years she has done just that. Saving who knows how many rottweilers.
A brave, courageous little girl, opinionated, loving, devoted.
Her folks, Brigitte and Eelke are people that we all should strive to be. Unconditional love, understanding, patience. Thank you so much for your gift of a loved and loving life to Haley for these past years. I trust that the pills will work, giving her and you a little time.
I am so sorry for this heartbreak. It shouldn’t happen. She should be able to leave quietly, in her sleep, no pain.
I’m so very, very sorry. So very sad, so very sorry.
Haley, you’re the BEST.
