Hooray!!

 


I I often think: "Whatever has happened to them"

"Them" are the people I used to see at Arlington or Bayfront Parks before COVID. Now they are nowhere to be seen.

This morning (5th March 2023)  I decided to take Mr. Z to Arlington Park, a little bit later that our usual Bayfront Park walks. It was a good walk.

Then we were on our way to my Church, (Trader Joe's) , for their 8:00 a.m. service!  For reasons I don't understand I decided to take a short cut of Tuttle Ave, via Datura St.

Such providence. Some may remember the family  I used to see every week day at Arlington Park.  Mom and Dad with their daughter Alex and their dog Axel as they took an early walk at Arlington Park before Alex went to school. There they were. We'd met again for the first time in three years. 

Mutual HOORAYS. WHOOP DEE DOOS. HAPPINESSES ! To quote from a hymn by Charles Wesley "And are we yet alive, and see each others' face?"  Thank goodness YES!

I shopped at T.J's.  

I backed out of my parking space.  As I went forward, turning right to exit the parking lot I noticed another departing TJ's customer whose eyes were fixed on Mr.  Z.

She called out, "I want to get into your back seat and cuddle your dog"  

She added "he is smiling at me".  Others have seen that smile!

Oh my dearest Zion.  He is such a bringer of joy!  So much so that I get tears in my eyes just to look at him.

In a State of Shock. From 8:00 - 2:00 today

  Please no 'phone calls.  PLEASE!  (but this news is not private) At 8:00 this morning I took Zion to a local  Veterinarian for a scan of a mass on his jaw. By 12:30 the Vet phoned me with this shocking and unexpected news.  (see below)   How odd that a scan for a lesser issue should reveal the bad news.   I think that the scan was providential. I could have taken him home for what would have been his last two to three possible miserable days but I  decided to say goodbye to Zion there and then.  I stayed with him to the end at 2:00 p.m. I am in shock.  I am grateful for six fantastic years together.  I rejoice that he brought joy to so many people. His remains will be returned to me to be buried near my home, with a flowering shrub planted over them. Thanks for your care John Michael Povey Hello Michael,   I will show you the images when you arrive but essentially what we see on the CT is that he has multiple masses on his spleen and several in his lungs, additionally he has flui

  80 years equals family Fifty plus of us. My five remaining sibs and their spouses. Nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews. Cousins, second cousins, third cousins A joyful and relaxed family reunion. Super food. Great food for children with activities for them too, including face painting. This 80-year-old child wore a birthday coronet and insisted on having his face painted. A marvelous family reunion; and the greatest celebration of my four score years.
