It's been quite a year for us. Okay, the last 6 months have been just nutso. Two graduations, two weddings, one move, one new job, one major accident, and the death of a foster dog.
What accident you might be saying? Well, Reno decided to take a dive from the attic, through the drywall, bouncing off two joists, and landing on the garage floor. You may have heard the racket, and you may have heard my screaming afterwards. I'm pretty sure Hank, Mick and I all had kittens. I think Reno had a litter too.
As luck would have it he may have fallen from the attic, but he did have an angel protecting him from serious injury. Granted, every part of his body hurts, but nothing was broken, and the staples in his head give him a very macho look.
So while we are in pain from losing our sweet little Sophie girl, and pain from hitting the concrete floor, we also have much to be thankful for. We have good reason to love, and feel love. To laugh, and laugh at ourselves. We have happy memories of Sophie, and lessons she gave us to carry on with. Part of us may be bruised (ok - lots of Reno is!!), but part of us is healing. And like I said, there is never a dull moment. Just many grateful moments.
Life with dogs. A little humor, a dash of play, a seed of faith, and of course, some dog fur.

I'm glad all is well with Gordon ... falls like that are not to be dealt with lightly. What happened to Sophie ... that is so sad ... we love them like family and it is hard to lose them - just like family.
Maggi.
