Wow. I am so overwhelmed by just how many people have gone out of their way to contact me via e-mail, facebook, phone calls, etc. when they heard about Lucy. Even my friends who are not dog people (I try not to judge!) have offered their condolences. When I posted about service earlier this week, I didn't anticipate being on the receiving end, but that is exactly what has happened. Thanks to you all!
A political map of the world circa 1987. The Soviet Union takes up a sizable portion. A lot has happened in the last 39 years. The Berlin Wall came down. The Soviet Union collapsed. The Twin Towers fell. Technology has changed: landlines and phone booths are practically extinct, and random questions can be answered in seconds by asking Google, Siri, or Alexa. No longer do drivers keep the Thomas Guide in their cars; navigation systems will give turn-by-turn directions, and recalculate when the driver doesn't follow the directions. Some cars don't even need drivers. While many shoppers do their shopping in-person, some simply log into Amazon and have their item show up on their doorstep--sometimes within hours. I've seen pieces of the Berlin Wall. I've traveled to places that used to be behind the Iron Curtain. I've been to Ground Zero. I no longer have a house phone, and have looked up the answers to countless questions using my cell phone. I do not miss the stress...
Hello, I read your email from the droolers mailing list and found your blog. I am sorry for the lost of your beloved Lucy. She was beautiful and had some very striking colors. RIP and Run Free at the Bridge with the wind blowing your ears. HoundDogMom (Sherri)
