Thanks john for your kind reply. Yes, winter is always a bummer for me .... I have a lightbox, but I don't know if it does much or not. I had to put my pup down about 2-1/2 months ago and boy did that leave a big hole in my life. I called my Vet and told them if anyone brings in a dog they can no longer keep, for whatever reason, and it's fairly small and good natured, to call me.
I may have mentioned this before, but I've been divorced for 10 years now .... we were married for 40 years, and ..... he has moved down this way and built a huge house and takes a big trip every other year with our son. I'm not sure living down here that close to him is a good idea ... it means we're altogether on holidays, which is OK I guess, but it just doesn't feel right. This isn't one of those soap operas where people divorce and become close buddies forever. We get along, but we also stay out of each other's way. I told my girls that my moving was rather like yanking a big old tree out of the ground and replanting it in another country, and hoping it would thrive ..... maybe it will, maybe it won't.
Thanks again,
abby
