I still can’t think about Nimbus “face on” because thinking about him dying is too painful! Even though it was essentially old age, there were seizures and things at the end that I refuse to fully recall. If you skip that part, oh and the part when he bit the substitute mail man, and all the other times he was out of control….well he was great and here’s a couple pics.

It’s been really nice not having the burden of dog walks 3 times a day.

ButI sometimes I think about hot dog dogs and how cute they are. Only the short-haired ones.

Having a dog is a huge responsibility and such a pain a lot of the time! I don’t think I need to go into the details. It just is and that’s why so many people are choosing to get cats (which I wouldn’t want).

On top of that, Rob is one of the many people who don’t really consider hot dog dogs…desirable. My daughter, Paige, suggested that we solve this by getting 2 dogs so the hot dog dog would clearly be “mine” and Rob could associate with the other one.

While I do want to enjoy the outdoors in the move to a more climate-friendly city, not sure I want to deal with the dog thing now that we’re both “empty-nesters”.

However, I am fairly certain that at least one of my daughters would be more likely to visit if there were a dog on the premises.
