thank you

(4x6)
Thank to everyone for the comments on my post about Nanda. Your thoughtfulness and kindness are very touching, and I appreciate it.
A busy weekend--dinner with my brother John for his birthday Saturday, Peter's brother's son's christening Sunday--now back home, where I expect to see Nanda in her favorite spots: in the patch of sun on the deck, curled up in a ball on the loveseat in the loft, and, of course, next to her food bowl. I think Smilla misses her; she seems to want more attention than usual--or maybe she's thinking that about me!
I'll miss her, but she had a good life and a good death too--not too soon, not too late.

    So sad Laura, about Nanda. It's good that you feel the timing was all right for this milestone. That's a blessing.

    So sorry about Nanda. So hard to know when to make the decision. I have had to make the decision when my dog's minds were still very sharp and functioning and that seemed so bad but their bodies had given up. I love the photo of her.

    I was very sorry to read about you cat :(

    I'm sure that Smilla misses her and knows you need more attention.

    Lovely fresh flowers. When we had Sophie put down two years ago I expected to see her every day, especially when I came in the door. As much as I loved that darned cat, our "new" pound rescue, Bucky is a lover too.

    I think you'll be seeing her for a while, Laura. It's only natural, and a comfort in a way. Your painting is beautiful, as always.

    These are stunning. You've painted such rich, bright colours in such a gentle way. Beautiful.
    Thoughts with you about Nanda. I've been there. She'll always be with you.
