Reflections

It's been a tough week. 

For me, it still is. There seems to be no letting go of the depression and anger that went along with this election of hate and soon-to-be destruction. I am truly amazed at those who can let it go (though that worries me in other ways) or can compartmentalize it all.  Clearly, I cannot. 

....and lord knows, I can hold a grudge like no one's business. 

Yeah Yeah - animals make it better, but they're not wiping out my funk. I have moments with all these guys that still make me smile. 

Shep checking on me in the liberry. 

710: Driving Mr. Shep. 

I don't know who this "guy" is. "He" blocked every other dog wanting pets. 
So he got all my pets. He was so nice and SO cute. 

The evil cane lurks far enough away that Simon stopped by. I wasn't even making tuna. 

Shep and myself on election day. When I still smiled more readily. 
But ugh - am I always this egg-headed? 

Cousin meet-up. 
Honestly, an almost two mile hike and they literally ignored each other the entire time. Not even a courtesy sniff. 

Simon being Simon. 
Shep isn't intimidated. 

One of my bestest pics of him ever.

I always feel such empathy for daycare love seekers, obviously that beautiful dog was a joy. It is a beautiful picture of Shep.

It's a time when animals' non-awareness of politics is to be envied. However, they can always be guaranteed to lift one's spirits when it's needed, if only for short while - and they do deliver it in spades!

Can we be like Shep and Simon for the next five years, not bothered?
