MAKE IT A GREAT DAY: Mixing up the days & Bailey

Wednesday? Or, is it Tuesday?

The calendar says it is Wednesday, December 27, 2023, however, my body and mind believe it to be Tuesday.

Yesterday, I made a good deal of headway on one project and feel positive about the results. I intend to have as much success, today.

Last night, Bailey continued to join all of us in my study as I worked. When the other dogs would head outside to potty, I’d spend time with Bailey, reassuring her, telling her how loved she is, and letting her know it’s Okay to let go.

This morning when I woke, she was snuggled next to her favorite, Chief. She opted to go outside rather than eat. After the others came inside, I found her standing beside the deck, looking out into the still-dark backyard. She moved around to the steps with ease but lost her strength halfway up the steps, and slid back down. I carried her up to the top of the deck and she is now lying at my feet (photo) as I attend to some items at my desk. The others are subdued and respectful. Even the ever-playful Colonel Deeds is not in “let’s all play!” mode.

I believe Bailey has but hours, perhaps a day to remain with us. She appears comfortable and without pain and wants to be with us in the study.

The day must continue, and I have a number of things to do before officially beginning my day.

Make it a great day! (Whatever day it is to you!)
