Today, is Easter, although I must say is doesn't feel like Easter. Brad is at work, I have the day off. No plans to do anything. I have just been lounging around this morning. I am about ready to go take a shower. I am feeling sad today. I am really missing the Wy boy. He really did comsume so much of my time, when I am at home. He always had me doing something for him, now it is just so quiet and empty space with him not around. I know it will get better as time goes on, but today, the tears just seem to stream down my face, as i miss him so much. He really was my buddy.
I am really excited about my vacation coming up next month. I need to see the kids. I really miss them all, and Sophie is changing so fast. I know she is going to look so much older. It should be a great trip, and something to make me smile and be happy about.
Well, I need to get something constructive done today, so I better get busy. Going to try to go for a bike ride if the weather agrees.

Wyatt July 1998 to March 19,2008
Yesterday was a very sad day in our home. We had to have our dog Wyatt put to sleep. He had a mass somewhere around or in his stomach that made it so he could not eat much, and would not keep it down. I will be lonesome without him, he went with me about everywhere. We walked him everyday, 4 mile loop. He loved to go on his walks, and in good weather, we would go twice.
Wyatt was a very smart dog. He knew to lay on his back to get his feet wiped off if they were muddy. He would sass me all the time I was cleaning them off, but knew it had to be done. If his feet and legs were covered with snow, he knew to go to the bathtub to get them rinsed off. When I gave him haircuts, I put a sheet on our King size bed, and he got up there and snoozed while I clipped away, and then in to the tub for a shampoo he would go.
He loved to herd the kitties, didn't really want them on my lap. But to no avail, they always made it there. He would usually put a stuff toy in his mouth and carry it around while he was herding them, as this kept him from nipping at them. He knew he would be in trouble if he bit them.
I think Wyatt had a pretty good almost 10 years. I wish it hadn't ended so soon. Now he if free to run and play again like he could a few months before. He walked on his walks right up until almost the end. I am sure he is with all our other pets who have passed on, enjoying what they do best,Being loved by those around them. It feels so strange not having him here when I get up in the morning, or come home. I really do miss him, that Wy boy of mine. Someday we will walk together again, until then I have GREAT MEMORIES!

Mid-March
Half way through this month, how time flies!!! The sun was shining for most of the day. I walked Wyatt, while my bread was in the oven baking. I baked it for a friend whose daughter just passed away. Very sad, only 32 and a really pretty girl. My thoughts are with their family, not a lot to say at a time like this.
Wyatt isn't eating much today, not a good sigh at all. Still not keeping down what he does eat, so he is losing weight. He is still herding the kitties, and has a little get up and go, but I am sure that will diminish as the days go by. We walked after work and then I rode my bike.
Don and Nancy drove over today, they got a new car. So were out for a Sunday drive to figure out all of its features.
Tomorrow is Saint Patricks Day! I tried calling Jeff to see what all he did, for the weekend, as he likes to celebrate this day, costume and all! Did not get him, so will have to find out later I guess.
Only 3 weeks until I go to Utah!! I am so looking forward to that trip! There are going to be some fun times ahead, So Bella, Jack and Sophie, watch out, because here comes the GOO! On that note, I think I will sign off, that is a happy thought, and those thoughts are nice.

Daylights saving time!!!!
I love when we switch to daylight savings time!! I don't love that I lose an hour of sleep, and should be in bed by now. But the days being lighter longer is such a good thing! I can get so much more done when it stays light out later each evening.
I have booked my airline ticket and am ready to go to Utah to see my grandkids!! That little Sophie is growing so fast, and I am missing so much of her little tiny self. She wants to be big, fast, and is doing things earlier than she should be. This will be a great trip, and an adventure! We are all going to Disneyland, and seaworld in SanDeigo. The magic that will take place while we are in the land of magic should be wonderful!! I know Jack and Bella can hardly wait to go, and explore and show me all the great things to see and do at Disneyland.
This past week, I went to Vancouver, to celebrate my sons 28th birthday. It was a great two days, and we got to just visit and hang out most of the time. We watched a movie " Into the Wild" It was very good, many messages throughout , I would watch it again. The weather was great, the mountains were beautiful, blue skys and sunshine most of the time.
My dog Wyatt , is not well. I think he is not going to be around for much longer, which is very sad. He is a great dog, for me and Brad. He doesn't like very many people, but is a lover baby to the people he does like. He will be 1o in July. I think he has a mass of some sort in his stomach, and has trouble keeping food down. We have been feeding him baby food for a couple of weeks now, and does fairly well keeping it down. It is so sad to see him not feeling good. Most days he is good, and has a bad day every now and then. He still goes on walks, but shorter ones, and we let him choose the direction he goes. He takes different routes almost every walk. I am just enjoying him each day more than ever now, because, I know he is going off to be with all our past pets before very long. that will be a really sad day. On that note, I am going to bed now, I just lost that hour of sleep.
