Monday just isnt Monday morning without the cuppa that is brought to me first thing in the morning. Am I spoilt or what? Nah, I'm just loved.
Today has been a strange day. It has been raining on and off since yesterday, however, today the wind has developed an cold edge to it and its almost like being back in Winter. Brrrrrr. Its really been the sort of day that you want to curl up on the lounge watch a few dvds and just share the time together. HAHA... it never happens here ... oh ok sometimes.
At 7.30am Evan's mobile has started to ring, which while annoying at times is good for us. Gallopers has been a little quiet during the spring carnival and hopefully things will get back to their chaotic state.
After going into town, having a coffee and doing a few things, I was spending some time doing up the website on Gallopers (with the heater on... in November???) . I noticed that Vicky was still standing way up in the corner on her own looking sad and miserable.
I couldnt stand it any longer, so I left my study and went out to her.
Have you ever looked right in the eyes of your animals? Are you ever amazed at what you see? Or even amazed at what you feel when you look into them? I have seen it written time and time again how animals (dogs and horses) have no emotions and the emotions that we see (or feel) are the emotions that we humans put into them.
What rubbish is that? I dont care that Iam not Uni qualified, but I know what I see.When my old boy, my dog Jack was ill, he may not have had the facility to speak how he felt, but his eyes told me his story - a story of pain and of courage to live and to be with me.
When it was time for him to go and the vet came here to Massie Lodge to send him to a more peaceful place, i could see in his eyes a questioning and then a contentment of what was happening.
It's those eyes that I see in my memories and the way he loved and trusted me with his life and his death.
And now, to remember him I have planted a vegie garden.
