And so it goes.

Since my surgery I have been crawling out of the exhaustion that occurs from anesthesia and scalpel related trauma. My butt is spicy and I have a general feeling of intermittent sadness, which seems to be what happens after any of my surgeries. Healing is uncomfortable and I have been doing a lot of laying around which feels lazy but necessary.


I am finally almost done with the education portion of the IT program, in fact I have already earned my Google IT Support certificate, which I still think is weird, ha! I need to start on my work this week so I am going to cut this short but I want to share a poem I wrote about my dearly departed Fiona. I wrote this in lieu of homework but it felt right.

Until next time ❤️


For The Love Of Pug


I said she had a face only a mother could love

Maybe one who couldn’t hardly see


One eye was catty wampus and weird

the other eye was pointed at me


I went about my business but she was always there

Biding her time, her husky whine and butter soft hair


I couldn’t stop thinking of her

She was always on my mind


I realized she stole a heart

Maybe had it all of the time


I couldn’t bear to part with her

So I kept her with me


Years of love and joy we shared

Her beauty I did see


We had so much fun

It went by so fast


I was by her side

when she breathed her last


I will never be free from the love we shared

She lives in my soul and will always be there

I'm so sorry to hear about Fiona, Kara. This last couple weeks has had some huge bumps for y'all, some up, some down. Take time to recover and reflect.

Oh thanks John 😘 Fiona died last year, I just wanted to share a poem I wrote about her, even though she has been gone awhile she has never really left me. I do reflect all of the time though, ha!

She actually died last year but is often on my mind. Charles has been organizing old videos and there are plenty of my little girl and reminds me of how fierce and silly she was. All my dogs are special but she was a little extra for me, she was supposed to only be a foster but she weaseled into our hearts. I probably will always cry when I think about her but that’s okay, totally worth it.

I was unaware that Fiona transitioned to doggy paradise. I am glad I was able to enjoy her through your book. Love n light to you.

She passed last year but she is always with me. I actually was trying to write a song about her but it wanted to be a poem.
