Molly waits...
Here’s what happens when Michelle leaves
We’ve been busy! So much going on this month that will go into our October letter.
We visited an independent living center to see whether it would be a fit for my mother-in-law. (It was amazing!) Molly was quite the hit there, and did so well making new friends and being very very patient.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, here’s what happens on the mornings Michelle goes to work. As soon as she hits the back stairs, Molly is at the window watching her leave.
She’s learning that some days we have adventures she gets to go on, and some days the adventures are at home. We’ll be heading to the dog park shortly, hopefully with friends there who will play bitey-face.
And many thanks to our Fellow Travelers, who sent feedback letting us know how meaningful it’s been to get our real letters in the mail.
It’s not too late to become one of our Fellow Travelers — I put so much into those letters that don’t show up here on Substack, not to mention photographic postcards, stickers, other photos…it’s a treat.
