R.i.p. Lulu

 Our pleasure at having  our first weekend on the new boat  was somewhat marred on Sunday by the receipt of a   very tearful call from my daughter telling us of the death of their much adored  Shia Tsu, Lulu. It was not entirely unexpected  as she had been ailing for a couple of weeks, loss of appetite etc., and was an amazing 18 years old. My granddaughters can't remember life before her arrival so it is a huge blow to them  They are both distraught and we are going to miss her terribly too.

A difficult time. Many, including myself have experienced this particular loss. Very difficult, very hard.

There is sorrow enough in the natural way
From men and women to fill our day;
And when we are certain of sorrow in store,
Why do we always arrange for more?
Brothers and Sisters, I bid you beware
Of giving your heart to a dog to tear.
