First off, prayers to all affected by recent weather events, and I hope no members (or their families or friends) here suffered loss.
The only craziness weather-wise for us recently is that it’s been an inordinately cool summer. Cooler than any summer in the 45+ years we’ve been back in Texas. Even the few days that have been trip-digits have only been 100-102-ish. Just so odd, and I know, petty compared to others suffering.
On the other side of that, our 2 large trees that were in our front yard succumbed to Snowmageddon 2021 and had to be taken out last week. That whole unprecedented event back in February was pretty crazy-crippling here.
In other news…
Megan and Daniel’s pup Pi is now buried in our backyard, and part of the reason I haven’t been around much lately, because of losing him.
We watched both Pumpkin and Pi many times while Megan and Daniel were out of town, so both were/are very much a part of our family as well.
They left the pups with Daniel’s mother while we all went to the coast. While she was at work one of her roommates with cognitive issues let both pups out in the front yard, instead of the back, to do their business. When the roommate snapped to 3 hours later, Pumpkin was found out in the garage dehydrated and suffering from heat exhaustion, and Pi was nowhere to be found.
Megan and Daniel went on social media, made flyers, worked with Animal Control, etc., and he was sighted a few times, but, was not able to be rounded up.
Last Thursday night, Megan got a call from a young man saying he had found Pi’s body. It appears he had been hit by a car, and had passed a few days prior. The kid recognized Pi from one of the flyers, and animal control verified it was him because he was chipped. Damn sad night, to say the least.
Megan requested that we bury him in our backyard because he loved it here as well, plus, their present home isn’t their forever home, and we couldn’t refuse that.
So, I took last Friday off to dig him a proper resting place in our backyard that morning, and we laid him to rest Friday evening.
There were many times we thought we might never know what happened to him. Obviously we never lost hope for a happier outcome, but, at least the closure brought a modicum of peace.
Anyway, not trying to bring the thread down, as we are all OK now…just trying to pay a proper tribute here to our silly little guy…!!!!!
R.I.P. Pi……..
