I have Trevor with me this week. He is able to work remotely but because his colleagues are pretty well on the east coast he is required to start meetings at 5:00AM. The upside is that he finishes his work at 2:00 PM our time. It makes for a long day for him though. His home is very busy right now with Zach and Jadyn both home, each with big dogs added to their own two dogs, and each with personal challenges. Trevor is feeling the pressure and having a little break as he visits me and then Justin and JayLynn with baby Treyson in Utah next week. It is our 52nd wedding anniversary this week and I think that is another reason he decided to be here this week with me and take me to dinner. He is turning 50 soon and dealing with midlife he decided to go skydiving yesterday and did so in Abbotsford. Exciting and he loved it!
Cindy came to puppy class with me last week and it helped to have her drive with me, hold the dog, carry the crate and just be there for support. Once more Miss Kona was shy and didn’t want to participate. She stayed in her crate but finally came out to watch and Janet felt she was making progress. She does not like driving in the car, going for walks or going to puppy school but she is improving with everything. She loves to be with me and follows me everywhere but runs if I want her to come to me. She loves to play with me and be snuggled but she is worried about what I want if I move toward her. I think that behaviour came from her first home. She is good with people and warms up to everyone quickly. Cheyenne comes to visit regularly, the Sister missionaries came for a visit and Cindy’s family come often. We introduced her to Buddy this week and, after a little tension, they were fine. She doesn’t bark at every dog or individual we pass when out walking. I have decided that she doesn’t need to go outside in the middle of the night and she settles back down if I wake her when I go to the bathroom. I just give her one trainer treat. She is a little lover and has lots of love to give.
I am still struggling with a solution to my artificial turf melting. We know it is from reflection from the windows and I think it is the bedroom windows from the looks of it. I have had two different market umbrellas and three different umbrella bases this week and have finally decided on one of each. I am hoping that the umbrella can interrupt the light stream a little. I am looking into outdoor window film and outdoor blinds, both expensive options. It has caused me stress.
Cheyenne comes over often to play with Kona and visit. She leaves for Queens University tomorrow and we are going to miss her. She is a sweet little spirit and just getting interested in boys. I am hoping and praying she stays close to the gospel.
I am grateful for the boy of my life and my heart and I miss him terribly. I am trying my best and hope it is enough. It is all I have to give.
