The man who took our Belgian Malinous phoned to say O passed away and was creamated. I didn't want any of the ashes, but I have his medical file for a farewell ritual... the rain made it safe for a bonfire. O protected me and made it possible to sleep, even as he munched through childrens' toys and furniture. He kept me safe.
I wish I'd kept O and stopped the foot traffic through the property.... it seemed so dangerous to me.... regrets and shame suck, but I didn't have the strength to deal wih his protectiveness and people's stupidity.... my mom had just passed away and I had children going into school.... a new house..... a renovation..... a move and new puppy. OUCH.
New puppy.... who loved O so so much.
This sadness is heavy in my lungs.

Hopalong:
Oh I so get pet regret.
I'm still occasionally grieving over Newdog, that tiny preggers pooch I fostered.
Miss her to this day!
O may have been loved and well cared for in his new circumstances, do you think? And we know he was when he was with you. All in all maybe a good-dog's life?

Oh, he had en entire pack of dogs to run and play with.... sleep with..... feel a part of, Hops.
He was better off there, for sure.

I hope you have a Merry Christmas, Lighter - despite the hauntings of old memories and current challenges! Just a peaceful, calm, happy time.

Challenges dropped away.....
cookie baking and decorating Hemlocks with birdseed peanut butter covered wreaths and pincecones filled the space.
We're having Eggs Benny, and French Toast with apple compote for brunch......fresh squeezed tangerine mimosas topping it off.
All is well and I hope your Christmas and Winter Solstice are joyful too, ((Amber.))
