This is a vacation from work, from the daily chores, from my mental stressors. I've been to the beach, walked a lot with my dog, visited my family, visited some art galleries, and read. I'm loving it. It's also nice to see my husband and brother spending time together. They both have new Ural motorcycles with sidecars and are having fun riding and working on them. A great pleasure for Tom, and for me to see Tom so happy.
I'm loving being with Georgie. She is an exceptional dog, so smart, so sweet, so friendly. Tonight we actually walked around the block with her off of the leash, only following voice commands. I'd forgotten she knows how to do that. We used to walk that way at some point but now she has to be on a leash all of the time. This is a special trip for us, it may be our last trip together alone without all of the other dogs. She's 13 now, and her health isn't the best. I have to be realistic and realize she won't be with me forever. It's a hard thing to even think about without tearing up. I lost her sister Annie 1-1/2 years ago. Losing both of them will be one of those marks in time ~ time will be measured by either before or after Georgie & Annie. It will be a time of heartbreak. But for now I'm cherishing every moment. Taking lots of photos and videos. I only have 1 video of Annie. I love to look at it and see her healthy & happy. I have both of their footprints. I wonder about taking a snip of hair. Some people do that, but I'm not sure it helps. For now I'll wash her hair, and comb it. Lots of pets and hugs. Tonight I gave her a massage. Helping her old bones relax. It's amazing how sweet and loving a little 13 lb creature can be. My life drastically improved by adding this little schnauzer to it! Thank you little one.
