SATURDAY MORNING

I love mornings in Alaska. I love mornings at my place. The weekend mornings are especially sweet. It's so quiet. All of the pups are still sleeping or starting to stir. The neighborhood is still asleep. The quiet is only interrupted by the brewing coffee and Ghost hooting for a girl friend who's not showing up.

 I like sitting out on the deck drinking my coffee and waiting for my brain cells to activate. The pups start coming out to check on me and see what's going on.

 It's a perfect time for me to think. There's a lot going on and there's a lot not going on right now.

 I have to make a decision about my Lucy's future and it's a hard one. She's battling cancer right now and needs a costly operation and some follow on treatment. All of which will extend her life, but the question is for how long.

 Macy listens to me when I talk to her. She never really answers, but she gives me a lot of good ideas.

In the mean time the morning sun is getting brighter and our day is only getting started.
