I’m so envious of your zany little life. I just turned 71, and, I need something that will make my neighbors slam their doors. They hate dogs, so, maybe another dog and some screaming peacocks would do the trick.

I confess, if the bad neighbors were still here, they would be no sheep. Good luck, CTAY

I think sheeps is definitely the preferred plural! I love reading your notes on continuing life when it throws constant curveballs and loss. I am nearly ready to follow your lead! Inertia is a hard thing to overcome, but my little Lakeland terrier who came to me after my wonderful Cairn died suddenly this spring is trying to tell me that we can do stuff, just at a slower pace. I do look forward to your essays every week. Thank you.

Thanks, Jane. I’m with the Lakeland, time to play…

Sheeps forevermore! Delightful peek into your days. And wise words about mourning.

Thanks, Mary. Dogs are a great distraction.

I would call it living life. These little Vallhunds of ours just give us that little push to do so. Let the countdown to Colorado begin!

We can’t wait for the Vallhund caravan to arrive!
