Tragedy Across the Water

It is with a broken heart that I post the tragedy that occurred at TBTB. The wonderful, sweet husky twins that were being fostered were shot and killed by a neighbor with a chicken coop. Romulus & Remus had no reason to know that chickens were bad and it cost them their young lives. Herein lies the tragedy.


I’m devastated and just want to fly home and hug my own dogs. But of course I can’t since Bella dog is relying on me for another week. I am sickened by the violence that has touched even my neighborhood in sleepy Homer, Alaska. There has to be another way.

Two glasses of vin blanc have numbed me. I’m still grieving but it is a dull ache, rather than a sharp pain in my chest. It is so hot in Paris, I am sitting in my underwear writing this and I’m still roasting. Bella and I just returned home from the island that separates the 15th & 16th arrondissement – a doggie paradise. Lunch was a toastie with goat cheese followed by the wine. I shared the food with my four-legged friend that I am so happy to have with me. The loss at TBTB would be unbearable without a dog next to me. She is a comfort and also a circus dog with many tricks that make me laugh.



I only wish this were a dream that I could wake up from. Unfortunately it was their path and I was just a stop in between. They brought joy and laughter to TBTB and I will miss their smiling faces at the door when I return home next week. RIP sweet puppies and know that you did nothing wrong. You have now found your forever home, but we will miss you. Your spirit remains deeply imbedded in everyone lucky enough to have known you.

However hurtful it may seem, everything is as it should be at this moment.
