Today is another day.

Keesha is gone. I don't know how exactly to say how I feel about this. I am ashamed of my feelings because I think I should feel differently. Does it make me cold-hearted? I don't think so. In fact, since we put Keesha to sleep my heart has felt free and unafraid. I believe that our path crossed and we walked it, but then it diverged. In the aftermath, I found my trips to Young Williams Animal Shelter were more difficult once there was a "spot" opened up at our home. Yes, the dogs were happy to have our undivided attention, but at the same time, we had room, and I was surrounded by dogs that didn't have a room to be in. Sometimes it seems as if you are chosen by a dog. My heart was won. She is here now. We have started a new chapter in our lives with dogs.
