Something Cute For Your Viewing Pleasure

It's been a little . . . sad around here.

We're still trying to get through our days without Grizzly.

Some things that make us feel a little better?

Chocolate. {Duh, doesn't that make everything better?}

Snuggles.

And . . .

These little cuties:

Um, yeah. Teeny tiny baby bunnies are about the cutest things ever.

My dad {who happens to live next door} was tilling out my mom's garden spot the other day and unknowingly ran right over the top of their little nest. Not a one was hurt. Isn't that amazing? There was no Mama to be found. We almost thought of trying to take care of these little darlings {Two years ago we nursed a baby squirrel back to health, and we still see little "Peanut" around his favorite tree!}. But luckily, after doing a little research {Mama Bunnies leave their babies during the day and come back to nurse at night, don'tchaknow}, that won't be necessary. We left those little cuties in the garden, and by the next morning Mama Bunny had moved her babies. What fun to get a sneak peek at nature :)

And, THANK YOU so very very much for all of the sweet comments and emails regarding Grizzly. You all truly are cherished friends.

Saying Good Bye

It's been a long, sad week, and we're only on Wednesday. Not too promising.

I've actually been debating since yesterday whether to write anything at all. Do I keep it all inside, or get it out in the open? But in the interest of being real {not every day is sunshine and roses, after all}, and to help the healing process, I need to get it out.

We lost our dog yesterday.

Wow, that just doesn't even seem to begin to cover it.

Grizzly was a friend and family member for 12 years, and it's so hard to say good-bye. So much harder than I thought it would be. Jeremy and Grizzly were together longer than he and I have been together :) My girls haven't known life without him. One of Kameryn's first words was Grizzly. I didn't even think I was a "dog person" for pete's sakes!

Life is different. My heart hurts. And I am sad.

But I'll be back.
