I've been pretty quiet...

My animals are dying off and I am at peace with that. It's mostly the smaller ones with shorter life spans and they're all pretty elderly. I've lost quite a few this year and I imagine that in the next year or two I'll be down to mainly my dogs and the cat. I think I've only got about 20 right now down from 49 in the last couple of years. It's not like I WANT them to die or that I'm looking forward to it, but I know that none of them will live forever. I haven't taken in very many (in comparison to years past), because I AM looking forward to having less responsibility. It's a big job (and quite expensive) to care for so many little creatures properly.

In other animal news I've been fostering a dog for a few months now and he's finally going to his forever-home this week - in WISCONSIN. His name is Bug and he's a sweetie and SO funny to play with. He likes to chase the cat laser and when he rolls around playing with the other dogs he makes a REALLY funny sound. Maybe I'll put him up in my album for all to see. I can't say that I won't miss him - I'm sure I will, but I'll be glad to have one less. Shadow is pretty bummed that he's going away - he cried about it even though I told him up front that we weren't keeping him. I think fostering might not be my thing if he's going to get attached so easily. I feel terrible when he's sad over things like that. 😟

So anyway this is BugBug...

He's a sweet and handsome fella. 😊
