ONCE UPON A TIME....

Time was already hurrying by, but now it has quickened its pace! This lady is hard put to keep up. When I leave the house in the morning, it is dark; when I get home in the evening, it is still dark.

My doggies are pining for more exercise. Helen would gladly walk out with them, but I worry that the stupid neighbor let his mongrels loose, and she would never be able to hold my boys if they decide to chase. I was hoping to get a fence in before the ground freezes, but it is financially impossible for the moment, so I fear we will all have to endure until spring rolls around. In the meantime, walks are mostly restricted to weekends. I suppose they could get enough exercise by chasing the cats around the house, but Mistress has forbidden that antic.

I say ‘cats’ because Dora will be joining us next week. Now that the new baby, Léna, had arrived, Dora is no longer allowed inside Grandson’s house; Léna’s Mommy worries that she’ll bring disease. My grandson is calling the vet today to arrange for Dora’s needles, after which she will be subjected (finally) to the big ‘O’, then she’ll move in here with Bandit and Smooch and Grump. Both dogs know her, and Bandit, being male, will hopefully be happy for her company, and Dora will escape having to brave the winter weather. And Helen will learn to live with TWO cats...which she professes to hate, LOL!

There are positive aspects. The money, whenever it starts coming in. The realization that I can still put up with traffic jams without going into a tizzy... or road rage. The fact that my brain is waking up – it has to if I want to keep up to the young lassies a work, who maybe lack experience but are certainly rapid super girls on computers or related equipment!

Ah well – everything happens for a reason. And I am working at the part of accounting I like the best, so all is well in the Bush. Although I haven’t much time to read, or even less to write, the snow is falling, Christmas is around the corner, and I’m still SMILING!!

Sharing with y’all, of course!!

Luv from the Bush in Quebec.
