Bad News For My Marley
It really wasn't a nice feeling being told your dog, an old friend who as spent the last 12 years by your side has two large tumours that really can't be treated, yes they could try and operate but it wouldn't be likely to make him better, in fact it was a very slim chance and one we didn't feel was worth it. We both felt it was going to be a waste of time and we just wanted to make his last days with us as comfortable as possible, I for one didn't want to see my old mate go through all that pain only to see him lose the fight after, so he is now with us being fussed over, cuddled lots and doing just whatever he wants to.
As I said before this tough old bead maker isn't too proud to admit he'll miss his little mate and I know most would say there are more important things in life and I guess there are but at this moment in time all the other problems in our life are placed on the back burner, I want to make the most of having Marley beside me as I work on my torch.
Today is another busy one here with beads to make this morning and more to list this evening, I have to sort out the etsy shop, it's time to clear out some of the older sets which will be placed in the ebay shop and replace them with new ones, every day this coming week I hope to make new sets, the spacer sets will continue to be listed as they still seem very popular with customers and many people have mentioned that it's good to be able to obtain larger sets of spacers without breaking the bank.
This afternoon I need to get the ceramic kiln packed ready for a bisque firing this evening which means tomorrow I get to glaze the first selection of vessels this week which will include I hope Garlic pots, bowls and other items, also I'll be listing more disc beads which are some of my favourites.
In the coming week I'll be making a lot more ceramic beads and pendants, it's a job I enjoy doing when sitting out in the garden so I hope the weather stays fine, it may mean wind chimes will also be listed too which are also enjoyable to produce.
Ok, I better get off to my torch, I have a couple more new sets I want to make for etsy, I hope some of you get the chance to enjoy this stunning weather we are having and find time to sit in the garden to relax a little.
I feel your pain. I know that's a common saying, but I really do. A dog is not an animal, he is human, he becomes human by your loving him. They love unconditionally, and it's so very hard to part with a member of your family. In the coming days, know that Marley will most likely not leave your side, and give him a loving farewell. I'll never forget all those dog paw prints all over myself!!!
