Well, it's been several months since I've written, and so much has happened. Essence and I have bee ntogether 7 whole months, I got an opportunity to go and visit Chief, and Christmas is almost here. Aside from coming back from visiting Chief with a terrible cold, it was a wonderful visit. He is happy and well cared for. There are people who love him, and are so warm and friendly. Essence had a great time there too. Chief is healthy, and seems very content. I can't wait to go visit him in the summer. Essence and I are doing well, she is still sniffing some, and we still have our problems, but overall, she is a good worker.
Honestly, I'm still sad about Chief, and seeing him made me sadder in a way, I tried to recapture some of what we had, but it wasn't there to be captured, he's moved on in his life, and so have I. I made the right choice to retire him, but it's so sad!! When Gina retired, she died soon after, and though I was and sometimes still am sad about it, I had some closure. I had some closure wit hChief, but knowing he is still out there, and still running around playing, I wish I could be with him. and yet, I must move on, must go on with Essence, for she too has her charms, and is still so young and full of life! But lerking at the perifery of my vision is the day, 7, 8, 9 years down the road, when I must again, retire a dog. And if I think to hard about it, No!! I won't think about it! I won't I'll live for now, and enjoy what time God gives me with Essence.
Be well all, and I tell you!!! Love those firry and humans in your life, Love them! and take all the time God gives you with them, for someday, they too will be gone!
