Thought for the Day:

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul.
And sings the tune
Without the words,
and never stops at all.

Puppy

My puppy has arrived. I am in love with her but she has made life very very hard. I knew it would be hard, but I wasn't prepared for how difficult - how much energy she would take.

I am trying to work part time from home and between puppy, my father and work I am in rough shape. I've had some help from friends which has saved me so far from calling it quits.

On the positive, she is an absolute joy. A (mostly) confident vivacious little trouble maker. She also loves to curl up on a warm lap and cuddle. Watching her learn about the world, witnessing her firsts,  has been absolutely amazing. Here are some photos.

I've named her Ripple (but Riptide fits her too).

  1. How is it going with your puppy? I sure hope your able to get through the tough stages since you love your firbabys so much. It’s hard to keep pushing and pushing when your body revolts and starts to torture you. At times I feel like I cannot take it anymore but what else is there? I just have to remember, this will pass.

    Your in my thoughts,
    Crystal

  2. Thanks for asking Crystal, I've been pretty crashed, maybe even relapsed. Just struggling day to day to get by with too much to manage while ill. I know you get it.
