I am happy with a heavy heart

Yesterday we said our goodbyes to the last two puppies from our litter of six. All pups have now been rehomed. I am happy to say that we think they all went to good homes because the people that came for them really showed a lot of affection for them. One lady actually cried of joy when we handed her the little female pup and later on she sent us a picture of the puppy playing with a new toy at her house. So, that makes us happy. However, we are sad because we had become very much attached to the puppies as they grew and they showed their affection toward us.

So here are some farewell pictures of the Dachshund litter for us to remember.

Now that you have a case of Empty Nest Syndrome you will be able to go south for part of the winter.
Be Safe and Enjoy!

It's about time.

I can certainly see what you are talking about, they are adorable and would be hard to part with. At least you know they are in good loving homes.

"Diesel Duck"

Before RVing became an interest to us, we cruised eight years on “Diesel Duck” from 2005-2013. At the time we kept a blog, which we discontinued when the boat was sold, but you can still access all the contents and pictures. It will keep you entertained for hours, I promise. And, preceding our departure, we built this yacht over a 6 year time period capturing the process on a website that resides now in Cyber heaven. The link from the “Internet Archive Wayback Machine” you find at the bottom of this text, but take into account it is a slow loading site. In order to afford this lifestyle because we were not getting a pension then, again we had to sell everything, condo, furniture, tools, car and a lot of stuff was given away because we didn’t know where to leave it.

"Najade"

“Najade” a 37-foot sailboat became our home from 1982-1987, taking us across the Atlantic via Bermuda and the Azores to Europe, through the Dutch, German and French Canals into the Mediterranean Sea, visiting lovely England, Holland, Germany, France, Monaco, Corsica, Sardinia, Sicilia, Greece, Turkey, Malta, Tunisia, Mallorca, Spain, Gibraltar, Madeira, Canary Islands and back over the Atlantic to the Caribbean Islands, the Bahamas, Florida and back to Canada. We were pretty young back then and in order to pay for this trip we sold all of our possessions, the townhouse, the car, the furniture and everything else. Oh, and we built the boat, too! Back then there was no Internet but we kept a logbook and took mostly slides. Check Najade pics for more info.
