Heartbroken - walking with friends


Molly


A dear artist friend lost her beloved dog, Molly, this week.

The weather here has been warm and cold, warm and cold, warm and cold. Spring has started and stopped multiple times. And the snakes are out.  Molly found a rattlesnake while on a walk this week.

Perhaps it was the location of the snake bite or Molly's small size, but she was not able to fight the poison (despite immediate and excellent veterinary care).

My friend grieves and I can do nothing.

And I am reminded to love my walking companions and appreciate my time with them.

And I am reminded that this is the time of year we must be wary.

Watch for snakes.
