Eye Hurts

On Thursday, I rested because my eye is still really bad. It just won't heal. Woke up with crusted pus all over it. It feels scratchy & burns.

Hubby came home with the Dodge right after work. We loaded up the dogs, drove to Sandpoint, got parts for hubby and I walked dogs. Then we picked up hamburgers for hubby & dogs at Burger Express. Drove to wild dog walk in deserted subdivision by Priest River. Beautiful area. The water was in draw-down & the beach was exposed. Isabelle jumped down & played in the water as did Bud, Bit & Harry. But Angus was too scared to walk over the rocks. On the walk back to the truck, Bud spied something in the trees & took off. We saw he was trying to "herd" 12 deer than ran out of the woods. Bud came running back - out of breath & completely soaked. He must have run through some low-lying area.

When we got home, it got seriously cold. Ran out of propane. Oh. no.

While paying bills Friday, I came across this.

Still Here
I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying, You found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
“It’s me, I haven’t left you, I’m well, I’m fine, I’m here.”
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at the shops today, Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.
I want to reassure you, that I’m not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said “it’s me.”
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.
It’s possible for me, to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, “I never went away.”
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew .. in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over… I smile and watch you yawning and say “goodnight, God bless, I’ll see you in the morning.”
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I’ll rush across to greet you and we’ll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out … then come home to be with me.
