We took our 2002 Mercedes in for annual service on Tuesday. When we went to pick her up on Wednesday we ended up coming home with his beauty. I had the usual fight with want and need. I didn’t need this car, but I wanted this car. Then I realized that I’m not getting any younger, so why not have the car!

Today is our 17th wedding anniversary. We were both married before, but this time we got it right.

Of all the decisions I’ve made in my life, saying, ‘I do’ to Zane was the very best decision ever.

I’m ready to start the next 17 years together. I love you to the moon and back, my wonderful husband.

Today marks one year since our precious Little Bit went to the bridge. I wish I could say it was easier now, but it’s not. The tears are still there and the pain remains.

Stephanie Faris left this poem in my comments on the passing of Little Bit last year. Today I want to share that poem. Thank you Stephanie.

A Pet’s Peace

by Tracy M. Johnson

I have left you now, but please don’t be sad,
you gave me all the love you had.
You did so much for me in my time here
and I’ll always hold those precious times near.
I know someday you’ll find love again
and into your life will come a new friend.
Your heart will heal, though you’ll never forget
memories like the first time we met.
Memories are wonderful, so keep them close
and remember all the good times the most.
Up in the Heaven for animals is where I’ll be
and someday in the future, each other we’ll see.
I am at PEACE now, so please don’t be sad
You gave me all the love you had.
We so miss you baby girl.
