May

Bering

May must be the cruelest month. I know T.S. Eliot said it was April, but he's wrong. I used to think that it was August because it's so damn hot and humid in August, but I have revised my decision and have labeled May as the "winner" in this contest. My poor sweet Siberian Husky went from being perfectly normal (for him) to perfectly blind in less than a week. There was nothing anyone could do to stop it or fix it. 


Now he wanders the house like he's lost and it's just about more than I can take. It's so unfair and so very very sad. I know life isn't fair. I say that all the time, especially to the Boy, but somehow this seems hateful. It's not like we can explain anything to him or to let him know we're going to take care of him. Damn. I'm sad, but I'm also angry. 


He's so stressed right now and running into things and getting stuck in places, not knowing how to get out. We read that this will improve over time, but right now, watching him circle and wander is one of the saddest things I have ever seen. Such beautiful blue eyes, but of no use. 

Dose of Cute

Poitou Donkey - I want want want!

I read a blog called Farmgirl Fare. I'm not sure where I found it, but it fits in with my wishful thinking that one day I'll have a small farm with two donkeys (at a minimum), some chickens, several dogs (of course!) and a random outdoor cat or two - oh, and a flower garden and several veg beds.
Regularly Susan posts her "Dose of Cute" pictures and I find them so wonderful and feel like I might eventually make it to my ideal farm by just seeing what happens at her (rather large) farm. I started to wonder - do our two dingbats do cute things? 

German Shepherd Dog

Well, of course they do, it's just catching them doing it is what is so difficult, so I'm going to try to get Dog 1 (GSD) and Dog 2 (Siberian Husky) to get used to the camera - ie. not stare at me dumbly when I turn it on (beep beep) - and take a few shots to see what I come up with. They are both grown dogs, but sometimes they act like puppies, and sometimes like children and sometimes like spoiled children and sometimes like spoiled puppy children (we are not their parents -- nope, no way - no how - they are pups not kids).

Siberian Husky

Should be fun and hopefully will be some good shots of them both. Susan's recipes are also great, but I really go to see dogs and donkeys. You should really check out Farmgirl Fare.
