Something I knew that would eventually happen, but what I couldn't think of... my Jasu was put to sleep yesterday... 
It's so unfair and yet I know it had to be done as she got just too old. 15 is quite well for a dog and she had a good life. It still was one of the hardest things to do, to let go. To watch the vet give her the sedative so that she would fall to sleep before giving the final dose of anestheatic. But she was already half-gone, not really responding when I got to the vet a bit later than my dad and her. Nothing like last Saturday when she had so lovingly greeted me when I visited them. Life really sucks sometimes. But then I know she can rest in peace now... thank goodness I have Juuli to cheer me up, although she was bit ill today and I got a nice "gotta-take-her-too-to-vet-within-24-hours"-panic but it seems she's doing better already. Sigh...
The week hasn't really started so well, as I was supposed to go riding Atlantis first time since last June, but he had hurt his leg a bit and was lame. That and terrible weather (near snowstorm) and Jasu's passing I decided it wasn't wise to drive alone for the 30 minutes to get to stables.. But I've been riding more lately, now that Hanna has her own stable and several horses to choose from. I especially like her two arabians, Saphir and Zarah.
For a happier news I'm about to go to dog show this Saturday, if Juuli doesn't get ill that is. Last time we were at show in June at Saluki Specialty & Saluki Shows. She was 4th in Open Bitches class in Specialty which I think is pretty well.
Gotta go out with Juuli now, just had to write. I updated Jasu's page too, miss her already...
