From turtles to sadness

I've often had to slow down while driving for bunnies, squirrels and an occasional deer to cross the road, however I'm not sure I've ever had to stop for a turtle. I was driving this afternoon when I turned and there in the road in front of me was a turtle crossing the road. I had wanted to get a photo of it, however til I was able to bring my camera up on my phone, he was across the road and there were a few cars behind me--so the photo was forgotten.

2 weeks ago tomorrow we put our companion and first dog-Sadie down. It's amazing what I miss about her--those things that used to drive me nuts, lol. The first week the garbage men came, I cried--no one barked at them. We are now able to leave our trash can lid off--no one gets into it and throws it all over the floor. Yesterday, I dropped food on the floor and no one was there to clean it up. The other day I was getting myself lunch and no one was annoying me to get some while I was making it--then no one was there to stare at me while I was eating.

Tonight I was sitting on the chair feeding my daughter when I could have sworn that I saw Sadie out of the corner of my eye. Unfortunately, she wasn't really there.  It's moments like that when I realize she'll never be there again.
