I'm 78. I've had Koco for going on four years. She will be six next March. I dread the day that may come. A dog is more than a pet. She gives us a purpose, --to get up and take care of her, she's a companion, she offers protection, she alerts me to things going on that I might miss, --she notices everything. I feel like I need a dog. --I'm thinking of you and Ansa. --NancyNJhttp://kaymusings.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-17184054080487108772015-08-11T20:55:57.631-02:302015-08-11T20:55:57.631-02:30Thanks Nancy, yes I've been there before too a...Thanks Nancy, yes I've been there before too and it doesn't get easier it actually gets worse as it has been a pretty dreadful year of loss for me and I do wonder if I will be now dogless, you know?

It's even harder to do it alone without some stronger arms to help with lifting when necessary. How wonderful that Ansa knows and feels, and appreciates your love, ---and shows her love, too.<br /><br />Your bread looks and sounds great!<br />NancyNJhttp://kaymusings.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-54406559562995951712015-08-11T00:54:22.033-02:302015-08-11T00:54:22.033-02:30DKZ - it surely is :)And easy, so easy.

I've taken to following Ansa around, I love the way dogs drift around. Mine loves to smell all the roses, one by one. I don't know what she's thinking about when she does this. Maybe sucking in summer deep into her lungs.<br />I'm enjoying her so much, bitter sweet.<br />You know what I'm sayin'.<br />XO<br />WWWWisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-52941805845669906992015-08-09T20:15:20.187-02:302015-08-09T20:15:20.187-02:30GM:

An absolutely visceral connection, he and I've talked about this and recognise that very few people feel that about "home". As in the "home" most crave. Nothing to do with family, tribe or country. Just an instinct, very hard to describe.<br />XO<br />WWWWisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-12385069279924011972015-08-09T14:24:47.842-02:302015-08-09T14:24:47.842-02:30I might just give that onion bread a try next time...I might just give that onion bread a try next time I bake!<br />Sorry to hear about Ansa. That's rough. My old dog has trouble keeping up with me on our walks now; she's limpy. At other times she bounds about like a pup.

I wonder what brought that on? A combination of the friendly locals and the amazing landscapes would be my guess.<br /><br />Poor Ansa, sounds like she's in a bad way. I hope she doesn't do herself a serious injury.nickhttp://nickhereandnow.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
