    I appreciate your honesty about your dealing with grieving. Losing a pet is never easy. They can provide a tremendous amount of affection and companionship. I am an 81 year-old retired clinical psychologist and professor. I am on my fourth miniature schnauzer. I started my dog life when I was about 24 years of age and I’ve had a dog most of the years since then. September a year ago my previous dog started developing a seizure disorder and I had him put to sleep. I just got this new one in June and he is eight years old. He is extremely affectionate and always wants to be close to me. I hope you find a another dog when the time is right.

    You two are pure joy to watch. Stay safe. Especially when boating. I am heading to Tofino in a few weeks from Ontario. Hoping to experience some inclement weather to stoke my creative fires. You two have plenty challenge with just running all the mechanicals of the lodge.

    Remarks.....blowing spray...😅. This winter really has been mellow all things considered. It's so hard loosing a pet. When I moved here, from the UK just over 30 years ago, I said when we were organized I 'must' have a dog! We are now on our 4th and 5th dogs. 2 lovely Labs! It's a shame you don't have a fur baby with you there. ❤

    I’m so sorry you are still grieving the loss of your beloved dog. I am well acquainted with grief. A few years ago I had to have my horse put down because she had an incurable and painful hoof disease. Shortly after that, my older kitty had an aneurism and dropped dead right in front of me. Then we had to sell our dream home on 5 acres, with a beautiful view of Mt Rainier, because we were getting too old to keep up with the work and upkeep. That was bad enough, but then my best friend in the world, my elderly golden retriever (Tucker) was not doing well, and we had to put him down too. That was almost 3 years ago, and I still miss him every day. In all this time I have barely even hung any pictures on the walls in the new place, and I guess I don’t even care. I used to do art every day, and now I have only done that a handful of times. I am not outwardly depressed, but I just feel sad over all of the losses. It takes time. Sometimes years, apparently. This too shall pass…Praying for you❤

    I can tell you from experience, losing a pet is losing a family member. I am in my late 60's and I have had some incredible dogs, not pets, companions. My last dog was a golden retriever that I rescued when she was 7 years old. We had her for 8 years, and the hardest decision I ever have had to make, was having her put down when her time came. And the 7 or 8 dogs before her, were just as hard. I made a decision because of my age, no more dogs. But I did take in a rescue cat, that has wormed her way into my deepest affections, and I won't be sad if she outlives me. So don't ever feel wrong for missing a pet.

    Even though you are experiencing frequent storms, it is good those storms are not accompanied by sub- freezing temperatures. You obviously recognize the role exercise plays in your mental health, so it is good you are getting out whenever possible. Hang in there, it sounds like you are now more than halfway through this time commitment. Spring is coming and soon you can move on to whatever is next.
