Took Rosie Dazy's sister out for a run in the wildlife preserve just below the house today. She looked in all the places Dazy used to hide.
Broke my heart watching her. Finally she just got on a path and trotted along with her head low and ears and tail down.
She is so deaf now I have to whistle loud to get her attention and hand signals to get her to come or go on.
She seems to be going downhill fast . Going to be bad . She has always been mommas dog.


the consolidation of the states into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded. Robert E Lee
