Don't Stop This!!!

Mr. aloof Cowboy is secretly a mushy fellow who loves to be rubbed---but come from the side or back first please! Here he has Big R just where he wants him and is milking it for all he can. If you listen long enough you can almost hear him coo!

Today the fragility of life once again stuck home as I got news that my dear friend and neighbor's husband suddenly died. It was shocking news to her, their four daughters and their families as well as to myself and R. We are quite is a state of numbness about it right now so an evening with many dog pats has been good for us too.

My heart just aches for my friend right now...I haven't been able to reach her as she is out right now. There were some people over at her house cleaning ---I am thinking out of town people coming most likely so she is getting her place ready. Still I am at a sense of loss not quite knowing any more.....it seems to have been already too many losses in this new year.

Tonight my heart is heavy....a new day tomorrow and the weekend.
