No, I have not adopted a kitten or kittens!<\/p>\n
I visited KittyMom’s Rescue this lunch hour to donate some of the pet steps (3 of 6!!!) and 2 boxes of insulin syringes. While at KittyMom’s there were some kitties needing lunch and I was happy to help. <\/p>\n
And seriously…with kittens crawling all over me looking for food and then holding one and giving a small bottle… I ask you, could there be sadness of any kind??? I say NO!<\/p>\n
And especially as the kitten I was feeding was all black except for a Mr. Bob orange colored streak between her vivid blue eyes. …vivid blue eyes which locked onto mine as she slurped up a special kitten formula…that left behind a milky-white mustache…her little paws holding my hand…and when finished she found a spot on my lap for a post-prandial kitten nap. Oh, boy.<\/p>\n
But.<\/p>\n
If it was just me, probably.<\/p>\n
But there is Bear.<\/p>\n
Bear is sticking close to me. He is not wanting to stay outside if I come in – even briefly. My sense is that he is feeling confused, disconcerted, unsure – where is Bob??? Mostly the same as me. <\/p>\n
For me, it has been over 3 years …Karl, Bear, Bear and Bob, Bear, Bob… kind of a long, challenging, haul of emotion. Oh, and $$$$.<\/p>\n
Bear has been through the loss of the person’s mother, the person, shuffling, cross-country move, adapting to Bob, Bob, losing Bob.<\/p>\n
I’d like to think we could maybe have some “everyone healthy” time.<\/p>\n
For the moment, we will just be two.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, Tuesday, first full workday at home – a good day! A full workday, walks and play, we both ate well…AND…!!!<\/p>\n
Some months ago, I took advantage of a pre-buy at deep discount…for some wood prints from my favorite photo lab: Simply Canvas.<\/p>\n I had until August 23 to place an order.<\/p>\n I’ve been dithering as I had an idea of some things to order but needed to find the original files.<\/p>\n Gah!<\/p>\n In the midst of the awfulness of the last weeks, the deadline. The lab gave me a short extension.<\/p>\n I ordered the above of Bob and am so very happy.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Sep13\/NoBlues2727.jpg\")
