(a photo from an early post; sort of sums up things for me right now)
Just an update to let all my blog friends know that we are still around. There's just a lot of stuff going on and I'm having time management issues. I've also been more than a little bummed out over the demise of our sweet, old PetCat. I was previously doing some posts through the Blogger iPhone app, but after they updated it, everything went down the tubes. I downloaded the update and then couldn't even get the app to open. After reading the reviews of the new update, I find that I am not the only dissatisfied user. I put in my two cents and then deleted the app. I'm behind in reading blogs and want to apologize to everyone for the lack of comments. Gosh, but I miss a lot when I can't keep up! Hoping to catch up soon. In the meantime, all of us at the Huntsville Bunstead wish everyone out there a Merry Christmas and very Happy Holidays.

Sorry to hear of your app problems but glad you wrote this cause I was beginning to worry about you.
ReplyDeletePetCat is sending you love....
Thanks, Nancy.
DeleteSweet ol' PetCat. Damn coyotes!
Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteIn that daily-ness of sharing our lives with our dear pets, they do indeed reach into our hearts and attach themselves there. I found that time is what helped most as my thoughts went from yearning for that tangible familiarity to receiving happy memories as the final blessing given. PetCat had a good life indeed and was well cared for and loved. May you be blessed by happy memories today.
I guess the reality of his absence is most noticeable when we drive up the street and approach the driveway. He always ran down from the porch and out to greet us. I know that those happy memories will be a comfort in time, but right now I'm still dealing with the memory of the condition in which I found him. I try to let it go, but it creeps up on me at odd moments. In the meantime, looking at his photos make me smile.
DeleteOh dear never mind,you're here now MERRY CHRISTMAS!xx Speedy and mum
ReplyDeleteSpeedy, you are such a cheery, cheeky fellow. How can one not smile when thinking of you? And thanks, Speedy Mum.
DeleteChin up - one day at a time. Sleep in. Celebrate. Whatever .... same things happen here too.
ReplyDeleteGood advice, RG. Seems like those of us with pets have had a rough time of it the past year or two. Bless them all.
