I've been trying all day to get this column written while I have a rare day when David is out of the house. Alone time is hard to come by once your spouse retires so I try to make the most of it by sitting in my recliner making up excuses in my head as to why I'm not getting anything done. But not today. No, today I'm finding it nearly impossible to concentrate with my mind and heart full of worry. I have a very sad suspicion that our elderly Cocker Spaniel, Molly, is not going to be with us much longer. She has spent the entire day walking around the house, huffing and puffing for breath, walking into walls and the furniture. She circled the pole by our front door about half a dozen times then laid down. Bless her heart. We knew this day would come someday soon, but that doesn't mean we're ready. I'll never be ready.
