    It is a matter of living everything

    “…I would like to beg you, dear Sir, as well as I can, to have patience with everything that is unsolved in your heart and to try to cherish the questions themselves, like closed rooms and like books written in a very strange tongue. Do...

    A sad day in the neighborhood…

    I’ve taken a few days off to be with Gypsy.  I’ve done that so that he and I can bond.  Well, Gypsy and I have connected well.  He’s definitely my buddy.  We’ve pretty much been inseparable since this past Saturday. This morning we walked to...

    After two days of calm the sea erupted

    Tuesday and Wednesday were good days for Isabella, pretty much.  She seemed to have been in relative peace those two days.  Last night, though, was stark different. She did not sleep all night.  She has paced the house all night long, bumping into walls and...

    Waiting and fading and living (and icing my calf)

    Isabella is fading as we all eventually do. This morning, she did not want to eat or drink nor, get up and walk outside.  I came home for lunch and she was in the bathroom where I had left her before leaving to work that...

    Rough time for Isabella

    Life has been very tough for Isabella lately.  She trips and falls easily.  She whines and paces around the house for a long time before finally tiring out and falling asleep.  Some times I find her in a closet or in a corner of a...
