The Last Time

Today's post is about lasts.  There are good lasts, like the last day at the job you're retiring from.  That wasn't a bad day.  Bittersweet, but not bad.  I miss it about as much as I thought I would.  I miss some of the people a lot more than I thought I would.  I think about that sometimes.

We look forward to the last installment payment on the car.  We look forward to paying off the house.  Those are good lasts.

And then there are the bad lasts.  Today I had a bad last.  I had to get Katie her last rabies shot.  I spent the extra $3 and got the 3 year shot.  She'll not live to need another one.  She's a grandma dog who has had a long life for a Beagle.  She's 12 this year.  She can't get in the truck without help anymore.  She doesn't even like to get up on the bed anymore.

The $3 was probably not needed.  If she's here for Christmas, I'll be surprise.  It's just the reality of having an elderly pet.  You don't look forward to it, but you know it's gonna come someday and it makes each day with your pet a gift.

I love that dumb dog.  She's dumb as a post, but sweet.

She's snoring under the bed.  After her shot, I had her nails clipped.  She's had a full day.
