Weird weather

Good evening, all. I wonder how many of you have had weird weather today? It started out very warm this morning when I left for work and that in itself was strange. I'm used to bundling up on my way to work and it was downright balmy. Then as the day progressed, we had heavy rains then sunshine then heavy rains again. About quitting time, the sky turned that greenish/tornado-y color that just about makes me hyperventilate! It's been relatively calm since I've been home but we are under a tornado/thunderstorm watch for about 2 more hours. It's rare to have a tornado up in these mountains, thank goodness, but winds can be very damaging, too.

I had a pretty good day at work. As the weather warms, we get busier and busier at the vet clinic. I am seeing puppies with new eyes these days because I know we'll get another one in the near future. I have mixed emotions about this because I miss Snow Pea so very, very much and I want to give myself enough time to properly grieve for her because otherwise, I will constantly be comparing her to a new puppy and that isn't fair to that new addition to our family. I believe Sam and I will both know when it's time. For now, I deal with missing her and am so grateful that God gave her to us. Sidenote: a client called today (she actually called several times) to talk to me about her new pup. She had to have her 4 year old dog put to sleep last week because she had cancer and I know it was very hard on this woman. Well, she and her husband went to the pound and got a new pup and although she had a few questions for me, she mostly wanted to tell me how much she missed her dog. Now I know as well as the next person how losing a pet hurts and while I was so sorry for her loss, she was quite persistent in her phone calls. At one point, I commiserated with her and shared with her the loss of my little dog and she completely ignored me and just kept on talking about her deceased dog and the new puppy, etc. It hurt my feelings and it made me mad. Sigh.

Well, enough whining for one night. I hope and pray you are all safe and sound this stormy night. By the way, thank you all again for visiting me and for your kind words of encouragement and friendship. My time is very limited on here some evenings and while I intend to visit each and every one of you, it may take a few days. Please know that I look forward to getting to know you and visiting with you.

May God richly bless you,
Leeann
