So much has happened. But one supremely celebratory recent event was that a black lab fur-child we had taken responsibility for, almost exactly one year ago, has found her proper home, thank Azazel Abyzou Legba Olokun Shiva Ganesha and EVERY deity who has helped! She was not happy, and her restlessness, stress, anger and sadness infected us more severely than we even now may realize. I am letting go of feeling that we "failed"--- we gave her the best care possible during the months she was most likely to kill/injure someone accidentally, run in front of a car, or act on some other uncontrolled impulse leading to bad outcomes for her. We carefully interviewed the many candidates who applied for this beautiful young dog. Her new home is with a dogwise person who has another large dog---whom she adores (actually both human and large dog!) and who takes extremely good care of dogs. Exhaling now! Can still feel pain and tension in my back, neck, arms, shoulders, eyes, but now feel it ebbing away more and more.
I thank Papa Legba, been just loving him, providing him a nice offering, a strong walking stick, a pretty macoute-Legba and refreshing him some strong, fresh black coffee every day, and he is bringing such blessing, not only in FINDING (the right puppy-parent), but keeping SAFE IN TRAVEL (the possibility of death/serious accident was very real on the 40-minute ride to her new home: she wouldn't go in the car except riding shotgun, with all the antics that allowed) and BRINGING GUIDANCE (finding really intelligent books on subjects I needed to learn about, meeting a wonderful high priestess, and developing perspective on situations I had allowed myself to consider problems!) Love and candies and coffee and soon, I will also bring Legba some lovely rum. Merci merci merci cher Papa.
