So where's Nancy?

Busy Busy busy. I am up to my eyeballs in work, both business related and personal. Getting my three little munchkins back to school was no easy task. Hopefully by next week we should all be back in fall mode. The transition from summer to September gets me every time.

All my blogging energies have been sucked dry by a very serious summer long health scare with my Mom, and the death of my sister's dog.
Sweet and wonderful Belmont seen here and here in past blogs lost a ridiculously quick battle to lymphoma at only 5 years old. Born in my sister's kitchen, he was a very special boy and at this time, my sister and I can't even talk to each other on the phone. It just hurts too much.
In just weeks, he was gone.

Gratefully my Mom's issues have finally gotten under control, but Belmont's illness and death has zapped all my creativity and left a hole in the universe.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Knowing how dearly I love my 7 yr old lab jake, I adopted a 5 yr old lab this summer (jake is my first dog and I couldn't imagine what it would be to lose him). Now I am hopelessly in love with TWO dogs! (guess there is no way to make things easier in the dog loving dept).

i am so sorry to hear about your loss. i had to put my beloved dog down of 12 yrs down last year and last week our baby kitty who just turned 1 passed away in her sleep. we adopted her last fall when she and her other 5 kittens was found in a box in a dumpster. she was very tiny and had a bad eye and her face was funny shaped. she couldnt meow only made squeaking noices but she and her sister were love bugs. so i have her sister crying around the house looking for her. :)
