A Boy and His Dog

It's been over a week and no word on Bruti. Intellectually, I know he's a dog and that these things happen, as unfortunate as they might be. Life goes on. But there are those little moments when I miss the little guy, and it's usually those moments that catch me off guard. Like going through my pictures and finding some of him.



I really do hope and pray that wherever he is, that he is being cared for and loved. I look at these pictures and am reminded of how cute and affectionate he was with Alberto.

As I look at "nice dog" laying alseep next to me (I do check routinely now to make sure all the dogs are accounted for), I realize that Bruti will be taken care of. We will miss him but not his barking or his peeing everywhere (I thought it was Samson due to his bladder issues, but nope, it wasn't).

Sadly closing this chapter and moving forward.

Enough of all this depressing stuff. I get depressed just looking at my blog. So.... On to happier topics because we are too blessed to be depressed!

I've gotten requests to show off my new hair -- will have to take a picture. Unfortunately, to fully appreciate the hair, you had to see the "bad" hair. I'll see what I can come up with. But just for the record, we have had "Fay" humidity here -- whether it's raining or just hot and balmy -- and my hair has not frizzed at all! It's a miracle!!!

More with the nanny, looks like daycare is more of a reality. More on that later.

Doctor's appointment on Tuesday morning -- 8:30am (that's just ridiculous! I'm up at that time but not necessarily mentally functional at that time). Will up date on that later.

An iguana took a dump, and it (not the iguana) almost land on my head today. More on that later. That definately would have messed up the hair, not to mention requiring a 911 call. Let's just say, I left the park.

It's late. I'm tired. Tomorrow is another day....

Lessons learned: Sometimes, you have to let go and move on. It's part of life. It's sad, feel it, deal with it, learn from it, grow from it, but keep moving forward. Life is full of ups and downs, so hang on tight and try not to throw up. And the Keratin treatment is a winner in my book!
