I cannot even begin to say how sorry I am. I know that it meant so much to him to have you there at the end of his life. I am sure it was a big decision for you to move from Michigan but I trust you don't regret that, either.<br /><br />I am so glad you have Isabella. She will be good company for you. I wish your physical health had improved after that accident. You have to take good care of yourself. I know we are all so glad to see you back online, though, but do only what you can.RNSANEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841873957894861725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-42534916775820372472011-10-30T17:26:31.757-05:002011-10-30T17:26:31.757-05:00Oh, Ratty, you have been through so many changes! ...Oh, Ratty, you have been through so many changes! Too many, I'm sure. And they are some really dramatic changes.<br /><br />I think you need to take your time in sorting things out. Don't be quick to make decisions regarding your future--things will sort out in time. <br /><br />I'm glad you have a new dog friend. And while you say you won't post much about her, I think you will. Our animal friends have the uncanny knack of creeping into our blog posts because they are such a big part of our lives. I'm glad you have her--I'm sure she is going to bring you much joy.<br /><br />I'm sorry to hear that you lost your dad and that you miss him so much. I'm sending love and hugs to let you know that you are NOT alone. We are all just a click away, my friend. :)Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07042143254001890567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-16247681055235442382011-10-29T09:14:49.847-05:002011-10-29T09:14:49.847-05:00I'm very sorry that you lost your Dad, Ratty. ...I'm very sorry that you lost your Dad, Ratty. The feeling of loneliness will pass with time. In the meantime you have chosen the very best way to cope with your sadness, a dog pal.<br /><br />And what a grand dog indeed! I can see her spirit in your photographs. She might be a handful at first but with time she'll adjust to your ways, and how lucky that she got hooked up with an outdoors person like yourself. You will become a team. A team of happiness and adventures, everyday!Wild_Billhttp://www.wildramblings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-19132026409476252062011-10-28T23:22:20.724-05:002011-10-28T23:22:20.724-05:00Ratty- it is so good to hear from you again, and t...Ratty- it is so good to hear from you again, and to welcome Isabella to your rambles. <br /><br />Even though my mom and I were never close, when she passed I also felt great loneliness, because there was no one left from that generation anymore. <br /><br />I know that you will work on the healing process, and we'll all enjoy whatever you find on your hikes.<br /><br />I've missed you.Sharkbyteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10139935335209860357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-24166026337791735482011-10-28T23:15:35.069-05:002011-10-28T23:15:35.069-05:00my condolences to your loss Ratty, I am sorry to h...my condolences to your loss Ratty, I am sorry to hear about your dad's passing away, I can feel the sadness in your post, but I am happy for you also that you have found Isabella.

I'm so glad you have Isabella to keep you company. If where you are right now is out there near more nature then I'd stay there. Think of all the pics you can get. Something good always will come out of somehting sad. I was wondering where you've been. Isabella has nice eyes and she will take care of you as much as you will take care of her.
