Staying put

Bear and I are staying put…

Funny to show a photo of a teepee, the ultimate nomad home, with a “staying put” title???

Well, we are on the road but for the moment, staying put.

I do NOT move Wild Thing if I am less than 100% and I am less than 100% and know that it is best to just stay put.

And I do not want to go back to the house.

I spoke to my neighbors. It is smoky. The yellow jackets are still around in abundance. I would have to face that house without Bob and I am not ready for that.

We, Bear and I, are comfortable in this spot. We have wonderful places to walk and good facilities.

I am paid until Sunday.

Tentatively, we will move to Helena for next week and I’m considering the following month in Dillon, Montana.

I have a work deadline tomorrow. I am in pretty good shape to meet the deadline. Work is a good distraction.

Meanwhile, Bear and I will stay put and start the process of learning to live our current existence without Bob.

RATS!

I hate this! I really hate this.

In His Hands: Bob

Bob developed sepsis. The bacteria thought to have been irradicated by the surgery got into his blood. I was with him this morning as the euthanasia drugs were administered and he passed quietly as I told him I loved him, prayed for a peaceful passing and gave thanks for Bob’s good life.

Bob: A good cat and wonderful companion. Although I hoped we would have more, I am grateful for the years we had together.

In His Hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.
