A number of years ago--too many really--The Carpenters sang a song called "Rainy Days and Mondays," in which Karen sang "rainy days and Mondays always get me down." Well, we finally had a rainy day here in arid Central Illinois and it didn't get me down at all. We didn't get nearly as much as we need but, at this point, anything is welcome. It was something new for the boys. We haven't had any "real" rain since they have been here. Since it rained most of the day, it was…

Huey and Taffy were sitting on the deck one fine afternoon, enjoying the lovely weather.
Taffy: Are Mommy and Daddy still in the house?
Huey: Yes.
Taffy: Have they gone potty yet?
Huey: No. And they're not coming back out until they do!

It's amazing how things happen sometimes. A couple of weeks ago, my wife was trimming bushes on the south side of the house. By her own account, she was somewhat mindlessly trimming away when she went over the nest of a Mourning Dove and nearly decapitated the resident--a not too young baby. Fortunately she/he ducked. The damage, however, was done. The nest was exposed and the hot sun beat down on it. She was so upset with her self and the plight of the mother and baby. I went to look, and…

Some memories make us laugh, and some memories make us cry. Either way, they remind us of something we loved. When the irises began to bloom around Stinky Wink's grave last month, floods of memories washed over me. I still cannot take a shower without seeing him sitting at the bathroom door, waiting for me to throw a toy down the hall.…

Lela Schneider said… I've been reading back through some of your posts... I am so sorry for your loss. We too recently lost a beloved pet. Our Springer Spaniel had a stroke on Christmas Eve, and we lost her three days later. We were, and still are to a degree, very devastated. She was a "pound puppy" and we had her for 16 years. To help ease our loss, we went back to visit the same shelter where we had adopted her, and found our first Corgi, Corky. We had never seen a Corgi before, but knew that she needed to be with us as much as we needed her. She has been a true blessing. A couple weeks later we had the opportunity to adopt another Corgi, a male, also from the shelter. Our home is again happy and full of life and energy. There are still daily reminders of our Lacey, but I know she is there, watching over us. I know your Stinky Wink is also watching over you.

Grieving can be a very long process. I think it helps to express your thoughts and fears after such a big loss. It can also help to have friends who can understand how painful this is. So keep us posted, and I will keep you and Stinky Wink in my thoughts and prayers.

Brenda and Gary said… Hey Randy, I haven't been out here lately but saw your post from the Illinois page. We are from Springfield.
Also, so sorry for your recent loss. February 17 was the three year mark that we lost our little boy to cancer at the age of 7.
Randy, I am so sorry for your loss. I still tear up when I talk about my Corgis that I've lost over the years. Like Lois Allen, I too found that nothing helped more than getting another Corgi as soon as I felt ready. I kept Dylan's (my Corgi before Lucy) bed in the family room even though Lucy never used it. Then we got Ricky and he sleeps on the bed all the time. Even Lucy has started to use it. I love that they use it. It gives me a sense of continuity. What helped me the most was writing out my feelings, time and a Corgi pup. It's good that you're sharing your feelings. There are also 2 groups, Corgis Remembered and Rainbow Bridge Corgis.
