Some of you may remember the beautiful Saint Bernard I had, Kuma.  I had her for 5 years and she was my light in a rough time in my life.  I still miss her so much.  I’ve often thought about getting another dog, but I just end up bawling because I don’t want another dog, I want her.  And of course, once I decided a ‘live in another country adventure’ was going to happen, getting a dog wasn’t an option.  I found her ashes when I was packing up the house.  I’ve been meaning to take them to a snowy place for years now, but just never did.  I don’t need to put it off more by putting them in storage.  So today, I took some to my boss’ house where she spent a lot of time.  The rest I took to Genessee Park and found a nice place to spread them out so she can lay in the snow one last time.  So grateful for life having brought this wonderful creature into my life.  And grateful to have finally given her a proper goodbye.
