we are all in our "life" canoes , all in the same water, so every paddle i make, makes a wake, and eventually, ends up hitting your canoe. so i try to be a happy paddler , gently easing my oar into everyone's ocean. our wakes combine to move us forward or sometimes backward. i've learned you can not get anywhere frantic paddling. it's loud, it looks foolish, and it makes a horrible wake, that others will feel.
with last weeks news , naturally i'm pretty happy. then yesterday, a big pile of sadness, so soon ?
our little buddy ZuZu moved to Casa Del Toro, a pit bull rescue and placement center. i am selfishly sad, broken hearted , i have become such good friends with her, and to see her leave was brutal. She was just too much for us. She needs a specific owner, some one who can spend the correct amount of time with her. Last august ,she arrived here in horrible shape , she was obviously a "yard dog" , and only weighed about 20 pounds. her collar was so tight , that her fur was wearing off. it made me sick, i had to help if i could.. so she ended up staying with us, and Bella and her became best of friends. They were my cancer buddies, walking them took my mind off of my situation for a few minutes. I have received so much entertainment from the two of them.
we know that ZuZu will be much better off in the years to come, so i balance that against my selfish sadness of missing her.
when Esperanza died, i was super sad, but there was closure. She went to doggie heaven, and i had to get over it. But i knew nothing bad would ever happen to her.. With ZuZu leaving , i have these blipps of fear about what if something bad happens.. even years from now, is it on me?, because we let her move on ?
stupid thinking , i know , but Lil ZuZu is just so adorable.. i'm sure she had a fun packed first day at her new home.. Bella was very relaxed today, no little devil-dog trying to play every second.
here she is .. 30 pounds of Dyno-Might !!!
i have really become attached to her, i can't tell if Bella is sad or relieved.
