First of all, I want to say a huge, heartfelt thank you to everyone who has sent me and my family kind words and loving thoughts regarding my grandfather’s passing. It is so heartwarming to know you are all out there sending your love.
I am a little sad to have not been able to be at the funeral in Arizona yesterday. I wish I could have been there with my other family members as they remember and celebrate his life. I am staying put, however, because I am much more useful staying here. I have been helping my dad with his business bookkeeping (he’s not so much into the computer thing) that my mom usually does, as well as taking care of their slobbery (but cute!) dog and going over to feed the cats and plants at their house. I’m also excited to be helping get things ready around here for my Gramma to move back to the area! As I said in the last post, she has been living in Arizona for the past decade-plus. So she will return to her hometown for the first time in just about 10 years with my mom and her sister next week. We are all taking quite a bit of comfort in the fact that she will be so close to all of us and so many lovely souls will be able to go out and visit her so much more often.
In other news, we’re hunkering down for another crazy winter storm here tonight. The last one was so beautiful, coating the trees and every surface imaginable, including Mickey’s nose. He is 100% snow dog. Can’t get enough of it. He just goes outside and lays right down in the fuffiness. Adorable.

I’m so happy to hear that your Grandma will be moving back to your area. My love goes out to you & your family, and I’m glad that the pupsters are keeping you occupied. Stay warm through the snow & many hugs and love.
