I live with just one old, incontinent (pee and poop) Weimaraner. My housemate (think Grace and Frankie) and I joke that this is the old man around whom both our lives are organized. But we would not have it any other way.

For most nights of his almost-fourteen years we have had the pleasure of seeing the Milky Way, the constellations move through the seasons, and the occasional shooting star. He is completely capable of taking himself out, day or night. He is big enough that even the feral pigs wonʻt harass him. But as soon as I rediscovered the stars, our brief bedtime excursions became may favorite part of our daily routine.

Hope your eyes are ok!

Your resilience is remarkable Not that you didn't experience all the normal frustration, annoyance, etc. which was more than justified, but that you pushed past it and ended they day with peace and calm. Some of us (me) would have just settled into a grumpy, bitter state and been unable to see the wonder. My circumstances make it impossible for me to appreciate many of the things that you do but I need to work on seeing the beauty that is still there.
