ONE YEAR LATER
It has been a year since I lost my "second mom."
Her family has not kept in touch with me since I was unable to attend the funeral due to company policy in regards to "immediate family."
It doesn't matter anyway, life goes on...we got ours and they have theirs.

NEAR BEAR...
When we first saw the house, I couldn't help but notice bear scat around the property and adjacent. We have heard reports of bears in the area.
We have seen evidence of their destruction in large trash receptacles. We have seen our first bear.
Last night just before midnightn the dogs alerted us. At first, I thought it was just a deer underneath the south patio. Out of the corner of my eye, something moved in the moonlit darkness near the trash receptacle.
I grabbed my flashlight and saw two glowing eyes.
I yelled to scare it off and was successful in that endeavor.
A couple of hours later, the dogs alerted us again. It had returned to the scene of the crime.
I grabbed my truck keys and started it up in hoping to shine my lights on it and sound my horn.
As soon as my lights came on, the bear scampered off into the ravine.
A lesson learned. I will have to wait until the morning of trash day to set out everything, and I will have to devise a locking mechanism to keep the bear from doing that again.
Well, we have seen grey foxes, bobcats, deer, and now, a bear.

"TWORKING" BEGINS...
Today is my wife's first day working from home.
She said it was awkward at first. She was cold due to the house being a bit chilly this morning.
Aunt C and TheOs stopped by.
She made chicken chili and chicken pasta.
Yes, it was a stressful day for my wife.☺
But, she....
Had fun.

6IX MONTHS LATER...
Sasha and Drake have been with us now for six months.
A lot of changes have occurred since April 9.
Each dog has its unique personality. When Sasha wants to go out when we are in bed, she comes over and licks my hand. Whenever she wants back in, she emits a small bark. When she wants something, she chomps her teeth. Drake is territorial and will bark at anyone or anything that comes near us.
My wife is able to discern their barks. I cannot.
They are happy dogs and we are happy they are a major part of our lives. They love to play soccer and fetch. Quite a duo.
Their first birthday is coming up on December 7. I think rib bones, chewy toys, and dog treats are in order for that special day...
