After yesterday's upsetting blog, I figured we could all use something lighthearted today … so here is a photo of blind Widget happily scampering across the yard. Everyone in the photo is actually in motion — that's blind Evelyn in the back and blind Austin on the right.
On many mornings when Alayne lets the dogs out of Kelly's Cottage, Widget goes bounding off with a kind of hop-skip-and-jump motion that could only be possible with legs so short. Alayne has tried repeatedly with the camera to capture the exact moment when all four little feet are off the ground, but it's tough to get that shot. These photos are as close as she could get to "the moment."
In the second photo, that's blind Callie in the lower left corner, wondering who's hurtling past. In the several years we've had her, I can't recall ever seeing Callie move at a high rate of speed … except when we're placing her food dish on the floor. Then it's Katie-bar-the-door.

Thank you to everyone who posted such wonderful and kind comments on the blog or sent us emails about Teddy. Alayne and I are still in a daze over losing him so quickly yesterday. My office felt a little lonely today in Teddy's absence. But all of the comments were so heartwarming, and they helped give us a real lift. Thank you!
