Ticks

How frustrating. We've started finding ticks on our dog. First we found one and got rid of that. Then we found another. Now we're finding more.

We've ordered some flea and tick medication, but we need to wait for it to arrive. In the meantime, we need to check the dog every day.

Stupid things. Were there's one...

Goodbyes

We laid a friend to rest today.

A loved son, a reliable friend, beloved by his partner. A bit of the magic of this word is gone and we are all poorer for it.

He is not gone. He has merely gone ahead. May I meet him again someday, and when I do, may I greet him with "hello, my friend".

So sad

Awww... I was really happy when I got home. There were some nesting birds across the road that had been sitting on eggs for a few weeks and one had hatched.

It was so cool, seeing this little baby bird running around on the grass eating grubs and being all happy!

Then it got hit by a car. :(

Not even one day old. Didn't even have the chance to sleep and have one dream. So sad now. I moved the body off the road and laid it to rest under a tree. At least its spirit can stand in the branches and sing for the sunrise.

Rest in peace little bird. :'(
