Life goes on.....and on.......and on........

Went to take the "seniors" at the shelter out last week and saw that only Reily and Sheeba were in the "senior" area. I found out that Buzzy (my lionhearted pal) got sick the week prior and had to be put down while I was busy being an excited grandmother.  Funny how it effected me.  The whole "stages of death" thing happened; sadness, anger, guilt...
I should have been there to say goodbye, why was I enjoying the good things in my own life and neglecting my "senior" charges? 
Interesting how I was most worried, after being away 3 weeks, that it would be Reily who I might not see, so losing Buzzy was a surprise.  I guess I'll never be ready for this but what I can do, I will continue to do, even if it's just a day of love and hugs and attention.  These guys are so incredibly worth it!
RIP Buzzy

August is half over and this month the Lollypups focus has been on presenting the product to boutiques in the NYC area.  Lots of e/mails went out last week and I'm designing a postcard to send for a mass mailing hopefully before Superzoo, which is almost complete.  Then it's hoofing it with sample case in hand (and maybe Lacy in tow?)..... Hmmmm....... I don't know about that since the poor old girl seems to prefer sleep to work these days.  Maybe it's time she retired and I schlepped around my Melissa & Doug stuffed Jack Russel terrier as my new fit model. 

These are the "dog" days of summer indeed........
