Loss of a Pet

It is very hard to write this post as we came to the decision last Thursday, to put down Einstein, our lovely gentle dog. He has been in pain with his back for a while now, but most of January he wasn't himself and a blood test last week showed Addison's Disease.  Thursday was his next appointment to see how far it had gone. During the morning he was asleep at my feet as usual, but he wasn't very well and he didn't seem with it at all, and I thought he may have needed more  painkillers or something.  I was not expecting a phone call from John to say he was in a bad way and the vet had said if we were thinking of putting him down now was the time. I cried all day.

Two Great Friends

We buried him next to Cricket under the Protea tree in the front. I will miss him a great deal, as I am alone most of the time, and he was always next to me keeping me company. I have been taking it easy, while I get over this, and sorting out material for my new quilting adventure. I am re arranging everything, and putting large bulky items into the cupboards and swapping out the fabric to store where I can see it. The shoe box drawers I ordered, arrived this week.

  Wednesday I put some together, and went through the first box of fabric. These are for all the fat quarters and smaller pieces and I refold to fit. 

Naturally Einstein had to help me. There is 20 boxes in all, and I have filled 15 of them in colour groups. That is what happens when you work at a fabric store for many years. It has been good therapy, while grieving. 

 Other than a few hours weeding very early a couple of  mornings, I haven't done much else so will leave this post as is. Arthritis has been quite painful this week, so lucky I have an appointment with my specialist in Brisbane next week, and the borders are open for once!!

Stay safe everyone.

Till next time.
