I’m not sure I’d have stuck with the plan after all that. Hopefully things will take a turn for the better very soon!

When I’m feeling low or defeated, I take Shadow outside with me and just launch her ball with the “Chuck It!” toy a few dozen times – unless it’s raining or snowing, in which case I just find something else for us to do inside – until just being with my girl makes me feel better. And if Ducky is home, I bring her outside with us. I can’t even begin to count the number of times Shadow and I spent hours in the yard together after Callie passed.

A good game of fetch on an above freezing day in the sunshine is always a mood booster for all of us.

Sheer joy. Hope the boat issues ‘sail’ away soon! 🙂

Keep the faith – this too shall pass. Tell Honey the beach is coming soon.

Sure hope you can get your journey started again soon. I guess it is all new and a big learning curve.

It is very soothing and special quality time together.

I don’t know how you three are doing it, but hang in there. 🙂 We’re thinking of you.

But I love this post. So sweet! I’m not sure about it being a “first love,” but we always, always head back to the woods when things get too stressful. Hikes are the perfect way for me to clear my head and take big, deep breaths!

Thank you for the reminder! I’m glad Honey was able to help you remember what you love most. My girls are also huge fans of the beach. It was the first little road trip we ever took Zoe on. 😀 I hope everything gets worked out on the boat for you soon!

It WILL all turn around, and you WILL have a wonderful trip south.
