Thanks to all of you for your words of wisdom and encouragement. I have climbed partway out of the abyss today, and your wonderful comments helped a lot. I do smile out of love when I remember K but I also still grieve very deeply.
I've spent time with R over the past few days, and his happy attitude never ceases to make me smile.
We witnessed a post-storm sunset to be remembered.
And, I managed to captured another photo of a bear visiting a big anthill. He or she dug around a lot but my camera wasn't positioned perfectly so I didn't capture the digging. I'm not sure which of our bears this is. The camera is now in a better position so we'll get a good look next time.
I've decided to take a break from blogging to spend some time with the two R's. I'll be back before too long. Thanks again for all of your support.
If you haven't yet voted for my trail camera photo, I'd be incredibly grateful if you could vote so that I can win another trail camera. I explained how to vote in
this post. Thanks!!!!
Enjoy your well deserved break.
ReplyDeleteKB, enjoy your time away, R and Runner will be there for you,K is unforgettable and irreplaceable, her love and memories will always be there, so take time to grieve, I think grief and loss should not be hurried but taken at their own pace .your blog will wait for another time,maybe new photos from new places. Fond greetings, Jean.
ReplyDeleteThank you for continuing to blog through such a difficult time, and enjoy the break. Doubtless, the two Rs will bring files to your face and joy to your heart.
ReplyDeleteI hope you can relax and enjoy!

Dear KB Wish you a fine and healing blog pause with the R's. You are so brave. Enjoy EM
ReplyDeleteHave great days with R...looking forward to more bear trial pictures.
ReplyDeleteYesterday I sat with Trym in my lap and we cuddle as we often do.
When he was born he had a little
lump on top of his head , it grow very fast. They said it was a twin and had to be removed when he was older. You cant operate on a little puppy with 3 weeks. They dont survive the anesteshia. However, it was difficult to sell him with that lump. My first litter and trouble....
When he was 6 weeks it was very big. (see my post from april-may 2011) My vet said this must be operated now! And an expert vet must do that if they have to transplant skin. We got time for operation when he was 8 weeks. It still was a risk to do the operation.
It was not a twin, it was something very rare, one in a million he said. It was benign melanoma.
The black skin our dogs have inside their mouth above the teeth or between the teeth thats benign melanoma. Not dangerous. Somehow one cell was placed on his head...
So we kept him because we didint know if it would come back.
The puppygirl we already decided to keep.
In all this we had with him I´m so glad we have Trym. He is so special and so loving...
Enjoy your break. I do have to say that I have been enjoying mine. :) I would love to see that bear actually digging. That anthill looks huge!

KB, I hope this isn't too soon...but I have found in the past that the BEST medicine for mourning a lost pet, is to get another. This is no way replaces the original, but allows for an outlet of the love that I (and you) have to share. While R I'm sure is more than willing to accept this attention, I get the feeling he isn't "yours", and we all need a pet just for us. I'm still missing my dog, Zeke, who I've told you about before. I'm still sad, and waiting for the stars to align so that my life allows for me to get another lab. Ziggy will do for now :) They fill such a void!
ReplyDeleteHappy time off, and ps: I just got my first grizz on my camera!
Take all the time you need, we will all be here when you get back.

Enjoy your blog break and time with your "R"'s!
ReplyDeleteIt helped me a lot when grieving so much about losing Josy three years ago to have the two other dogs needing me. It didn't make the loss less hurting but I just needed to funktion and not cry and sob all the time... It took me such a long time to adjust to only having the two around me, inside and even worse, when walking with them, I always looked around where the my red girl was...
ReplyDeleteOh KB, how did I miss dis postie? I am so very sorry.
ReplyDeleteI think a break will be good furs you so you can mend your heart. We will miss you incrediblies and we'll be heres when you gets back...in da mantime, we'll me thinkin' of ya'll.
