Day to Day happenings in my life

Lucy

Have fun with these words: red, black, gray, white, blue, questions, ghost, shelter and rainbow.

I’ve been thinking about my dog today. I miss her and the house doesn’t feel the same. Lucy, my sweet Weinmarana, the breed that is also known as Grey Ghosts because of their colouring and their habit of haunting you. Wherever you are then they’ll be close by too. She went over the rainbow bridge four weeks ago and that sure was a black day for us. We’ve spoken about getting another dog one day, perhaps from the dog shelter but we’re not yet ready.
You have to ask so many questions about a dog’s history if you’re considering a rescue. Does it like children or cats for instance? Does it like to escape or jump on furniture? I wouldn’t want one who couldn’t walk on a lead without pulling for instance. A puppy is out of the question, it would probably outlive us! It’s much soon to think about replacing Lucy.
It’s getting cold. I’m lying in bed writing this blog at ten pm and it’s three degrees centigrade outside. This morning when I looked out of my window it was white with fog, but as yet we’ve had no frost. As cold as it’s been today the sky cleared and became a brilliant blue. I love this time of the year, our winters are so mild compared to many countries, but after the long, hot and dry summer it’s wonderful to be able to wear my favourite red woolly jacket. And Lucy would have loved a walk. She hated the heat but loved the rain.
