Oh this just uplifts me and melts my heart. Love the toe cozy images and that cookie looks amazing. Maybe I borrow that quote about books and wine? It's perfection!

Thanks for even wanting to share that work of art cookie! It reminds me of a delicious gluten free one that a local bakery makes here, so I'll have to go out for it!

Rusty says "Thank you. It's my dachshund duty to hold laps firmly in place. I've trained for this and I'm glad you noticed that I'm doing a good job. Some people in my house don't give enough treats due to absurd concerns about something called a 'waistline' which I'm certain is an imaginary thing as I don't even know where my waist is. Do dachshunds even have one? My humans are so silly."

It was a mess. I think I’ve mostly repressed it!

Totally understandable. I can imagine resembling your amnesia about a foot someday myself.

I love this and absolutely agree. You'll feel better in awhile. I don't think that everyone has family to help them get through things like this though. Infact, in some cases family makes getting better harder.Depending on the family. It's very sad but it's not sad to think of the truthful fact that the world is filled with people who may be a bit more understanding, etc. Anyway, great post.

Thank you for your comment! I agree - best to surround yourself with "chosen family"- people who are kind and caring - whether or not they're biologically kin or not. Kindness and decency are what matters most.
