I've Been "Olivized"

I'm sure that many of you, dear readers, have realized that since the death of my beloved Opal, a new life has come to join us here at the Manor...

I must admit that's it's been tough trying to blog since Olive found me. I've forgotten what it's like having a puppy in the house and my brain has flipped into some kind of "Mommy mode". Life is now a matter of moving from one distraction to another. In the time it has taken me to write these few sentences, I've had to leave my laptop and tend to puppy mischief three times. That's added up to about 90 minutes away from the computer.

Now the 90 minutes isn't all about misdirecting Olive from mischief. It also involves playtime, walk time, nuzzles, kisses and gazing upon her lovingly as she falls asleep in my arms. Yeah, I've fallen hard for this one... and as someone who's been pretty much living life from one death to another, this is one distraction I sorely need.
