At times like these, THIS is where I wish I were. I know I haven't been very up to date with my blog but I'll get better. I have a couple things to tell my friends and anyone who cares to listen. By the way, this castle is in Germany at Swan Lake in Bavaria.
On the first of this month we lost our precious Scottie whom we had for almost ten years. Her name was Maggie Mae and her death was of acute onset and shockingly sudden. Upon CT we found she had a glioblastoma of the brain and the damage was already done so she went to the rainbow bridge that day. The rainbow bridge is a place just on this side of heaven where our pets who have left this earth before us go to wait for our arrival. Then we all go across the bridge together into heaven. The story of the rainbow bridge is of Scottish lore and has been told since anyone can remember. I'll have five beloved babies waiting for me: Bonnie, Kelly, MacKenzie, Patrick and Maggie Mae. Maggie was the toughest to lose because she was with me every day since I became disabled and just her presence gave much comfort. I shall miss her a lot.
Hope does help the situation. I WILL get another Scottish Terrier puppy after this grieving process is over. We are just the type of people who have to have a Scottie. I had a room mate for a short time in medical school who had a Husky who was just absolutely beautiful. (the dog was beautiful). I'm sure Ray will know where I am coming from when it is Nanook's time. Unless you've been there you cannot really understand.
In a lot of ways dogs can be better companions than people. They give unconditional love and all they need is some food, water and a little love back. They have no hidden agendas, no ulterior motives and they are loyal. Also, one thing I have noticed about dogs...with the exception of Snoopy...is that dogs don't think absurd thoughts, have paranoid delusions, assume that what other people think about you is more important that what you think about yourself and never need risperdol or seroquel for any delusions that may present. Good thing, I couldn't afford the drugs. Talk to you later.

Joe,
Sorry to hear about Maggie Mae. I remember when Mucha (my little dachshund) passed away I cried for 3 days. Nanook passed away literally the day after we moved to the States from Poland some 7 (or 8??) years ago. I thought you knew that... we are hoping to get a dog one day, but we have to agree on the breed first :-))Magda
