That smile.
i just had to kiss her
beautiful face when SADDI shared
that smile.
She got a lot of kisses.

SADDI was ready for the chilly morning on Sauvies Island. Though she was sightly distracted by all the barking coming from across the street at the doggie boarding house. But we were able to get in our walk at one of our favorite areas. SADDI explored the large mushrooms, the slow moving slugs and looking around at all the eagles above. We got to a pasture, filled with about 100 cows. SADDI stood there smiling as about half the cows started to make their way up to greet her through the fence. One of the cows stuck it's head through the barbwire and tried to lick SADDI. SADDI jumped back and tried to hide behind me. But at no time did she stop smiling. i don't think the cows had ever seen such a well dressed doggie before. We said our goodbyes and continued on our journey.

i have never been one to spend long hours sleeping, but with SADDI cuddled against me, i would lay in bed and watch her sleep. i especially enjoyed watching her dream. SADDI would have a soft high pitched bark, her eyes flickering and her paws twitching as though she was running. i always wondered what her dreams were. After a while of quietly watching her, SADDI must have felt me and she'd wake up. With her head still resting on the pill-low, she would just look at me, as if saying 'stop watching me'. And then she'd roll over and go back to sleep.
Raccoon Talking to Herself
i wonder if they have treats for me.
i’ll wait here,
looking adorable,
until they notice me.
Oh i can’t wait anymore,
i’ll see if i can open the sliding door myself
and look for snacks.
and look for snacks.
a return to Alki
The past few months, i have not had the energy to do basic things that i had always done without thought. i stored away my best friend, my camera, not knowing if i would ever pick it up again. Numerous doctor appointments, dieting, limited exercising and really trying to stay away from a pity party. Slowly i watched my health take a positive turn, though there is still much to be concerned about. i may not see the light at the end of the tunnel, at least i am still looking for it.
So on this sunny but chilly October first, i dusted off my camera and headed to Alki beach, where i hadn't been all summer. It was a struggle as i barely was able to do less than half of the two and a half mile loop i had done regularly. But i could breath, enjoying the salt water air.
i have no clue what will come with tomorrow, but for now, i have today. And i will do what i can to add a few more tomorrow's. So i am returning to my self imposed isolation to concentrate on bettering myself ... physically, mentally and especially emotionally.
