After a really crap year, something really good happened. After losing my doodle at the end of August, I have taken on a 3 year old miniature poodle, really well behaved, no hang-ups, super obedient. She has really lifted my spirits and given me a reason to get up in the mornings and get out for a walk. I know its a small thing, but having something go right gives me a bit of hope for the year ahead.
Joanie – hello, your story is hard to read, the wasted years is awful to think about, and the toll on your relationship. The John Cleeves quote is very appropriate, it is the hope that makes this so hard.
