MightyFull's Notizen, 15 Apr 15

Good afternoon (nearly said morning, as old habits die hard).

I thank DairyFarmersWife for allowing me to start the challenge a day late. I did do 30 minutes of yoga last night on the dog's bed (didn't want him to move any more than necessary, as walking has become challenging for him).

This morning we put our dog Rufus down. He lived an amazingly good life of 12 years and 10 months. If the vet would have been open yesterday, we would have taken him then. Last night was rough on him and rough on me -- I dreamed about him and the vet and just all of it. Then I kept thinking I'd slept through my alarm, or changed it to a later time. Let's just say it was restless.

My husband was able to go with me today, and my mom met us there. The vet did come to the truck, where Rufus was stretched out across the backseat (where he normally is) and injected peace. We have buried him on our property in a small wooded area between our house and the roadway, so he can still guard us. LOL. We also buried his two favorite toys with him - Max from 1-800 Pet Meds and the hedgehog. We planted 3 wild azalea bushes in a triangle above him, and placed stepping stones on and around the area. My mom and another friend came to witness the burial. Fortunately, we'd had a bit of rain come through this morning to soften the ground even more. It's been a tough morning. NO makeup today, else I would be blinded by mascara. Even the contractors showed compassion. I have not shared on FB. You've seen more than the majority of my friends/acquaintances/co-workers know. When it comes to matters of my heart, I can be a private person. When it comes to my immediate family - husband, dog and myself I tend to be more private than public. Even with the contractors banging around, it seems too quiet. There will be more tears to come....

Emotional eating is in check today...I'm eating, but not really overly hungry.

Was pleased with the weight loss, think it had everything to do with drinking so much water.

New puppy/dog? Eventually, hubby wants to wait until the construction of our house is completed. Hard to believe, we are talking about doing more after we pay off some of what we have done. I have looked on Petfinder.com, yet haven't seen any that tugged at my heart. It was just a mindless activity...kind of like candy crush.

So sorry about Rufus. Sounds like a beautiful resting place for a dog in the trees. Good for you to be mindful of your eating.

Rufus sounds like he enjoyed a long rich life with an amazing family. Just remember the good times when you find yourself reflecting on the sadness of his passing. I know you said you loved Bulldogs and I also know how expensive they are because I've always wanted one. What about one of the rescue bulldog organizations? Our mechanic has one that was rescued and he is the best dog in the world. Blind as a bat but adorable. And.. well his running into your leg is part of his charm.

Peace and blessings to you. My heart aches for the animals I have buried, but I know each new life that I bring into our family will touch me in a new and different way. I tend to be a hospice for rescue animals that are "unadoptable" according to someone's perverted sense of perfection and I have loved and lost all (7) but one of them. My Polly is with me still, but is showing her age. I fear my time with her is limited. She has been with me the longest. Good thoughts of sunshine and bunny chasing for Rufus.

Take your time and treat yourself well. I still cry every day over Millie cat. I lost her last September. We didn't take her to the vet because it stressed her so much. She had a convulsion and died in my arms at 4 am. I couldn't sleep either knowing her time was coming. Funny how they become so big a part of our lives.
