Times a Changin'

Spring is slowly filling the air. It may not be warm just yet but I can tell it is right around the corner. Even the groundhog yesterday predicted an early Spring. Finally Winter is coming to an end.

Ava and I had a long ride yesterday. I would've settled for a short ride but Ava expressed much energy so we did lots. We especially worked on lead changes because that one takes a lot of her energy. She was drenched with sweat afterwards but still showed that she could have worked longer... Ava usually gets like this when the seasons change so I am not trying to think about it too much. When she finally cooled down I gave her a nice grooming and then turned her out but shortly I came back with a treat. I always surprise her with treats and never give her one if she expects it. So, although she may have had lots of go, she still ended up doing okay.

Last Friday I put my beloved ferret Wolfie to sleep. It probably was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. My heart is broken. He was the reason I got up in the morning. Three times a day for the last two years I would give him his medication in hopes that everything would turn out okay. But eventually everything must come to an end and on Friday, it did. I have barely been holding myself together, I don't feel like doing anything, I'm tired all the time, my eyes are always on the verge of tears, it is almost like torture knowing he is not there. I miss him so much. It is amazing how much things can change in just an instant. Always remember to live life to the fullest, love like you're a young teenage girl, and laugh like it will be your last. Life is too short to waste, enjoy it as much as possible. 

The last picture I have of Wolfie

I was blessed enough to have taken pictures of him the day he left me, not knowing what would be happening later. I will forever love him to the moon and back.
