Today I am grieving the loss of an e friend I have "known" for 12 years. The internet has changed the way we live and who our friends are. I have friends all over the world now, people who I would never have come in contact with. Margo was a fellow owner of a diabetic pet, who was moderator of a group along with me and some other folks. Her death was unexpected. I have lost other e friends over the years that we knew were going to pass, but unexpecdted always hits harder.

Rest in peace Margo. You will be missed.

The kennel is still coming together. I really wish I had more time and help to get this whole project done sooner than later. The dogs are pretty comfortable in their new accommodations. Especially the last few days of unseasonably cold weather. I am very happy to at least have every one in doors. They just need some more space in the form of outside runs. This too shall come. In the mean time everyone is safe.

Still sick. It is hard when you are the only one to do chores and you are sick. My back is now out from all of my coughing. Hopefully the drugs will kick in soon and I can get on with the clean up. It is funny when people tell me to have a good day off. They don't understand that I put in a full day here each day I don't have to go to the "real" job.
