Good Morning, Canteen Peoples.

A little sad news to report today.

I regret to inform y’all that Sarah, the family dog, a 12yo Catahoula, crossed the Rainbow Bridge this morning. She had a good run, but mounting health problems took their toll. If ever you could smell Death on a living thing, you could smell it on her.

Sarah now rests under a shady tree in the yard, next to another beloved family companion. The girls are making a plaster-craft headstone marker to honor her memory. The two cats, Ares and Loki, already know what’s happened. Amazing, how that works...

Sarge will be in and out all day.

Just donated a big box full of guy hard cover books via the local VFW to the Veterans Hospital. Thought our brothers residing there might appreciate them.

Sorry to hear that OS. We had to have our poodle put down several years ago. She was 17 and a few weeks. She rests in the garden area.

It’s hard to lose a pet and we went from a 14 lb pup to a 55 lb pound Old English Sheep Dog. Wait until you know what the replacement will be. Puppy energy VS control.

So sorry to read of Sarah’s passing Sarge & wish comfort for you all as it’s so hard to loose a beloved pet.

I had to look up the breed & at first I thought it might be a bird dog of sorts. What a beautiful breed! Did she have the blue eyes? I see they are very smart & herd cattle & hunt wild pigs.

Big *Hugs* to the clan & certain Sarah is running & playing like a puppy beyond the bridge.
