Chronicles

I’ve always been a writer, and it’s always made sense to me to deal with issues by writing. I was reading through old posts on here and discovered just how much I’ve captured of Isis’ saga on this blog. Same with Basette and Ambush, my old kitties.

A friend here at work suggested pulling Isis’ blog posts into a book to detail exactly what happened to her. Maybe others can learn from what we went through. I know sharing Isis’ story can help others. I just wish there was a happier ending.

It does help to write about these things, to share what has happened. Maybe even sharing how I process the losses of each pet or horse will help others some day deal with the same grief. Each person’s processing is different.

By day, I’m a technical writer: I write things that help people do things. I think that is also why I blog: writing is a way of handling the stress by documenting what happens in the hopes that maybe it will help someone else.

    Stella ate most of her wet food today AND even some of the dry food I gave her this morning. Happy dance! That’s most of a serving of Wellness and half of the dry food. HUGE improvement for her. She spent most of the evening curled up on my desk in front of the monitor….

  • EPM redux with Isis

    Yesterday morning around 8:00, Chris, the barn owner, went out to give Isis her morning hay. Isis startled when Chris walked around the corner of Isis’ shelter. Isis was shaking and seemed to have trouble focusing her sight. She was anxious and would not lead unless Chris walked next to Isis. Isis would pull back…
