Liz always had a plan thinking of my wife smiling

[Duncanpup]

In thirty six and half years of marriage it was like being married to Ike as he planned D day. Everything down to the smallest detail me not so much probably because of the army. In the army plans the higher ups made always went sideways ok plan A is screwed we’re now onto plan B now also be prepared to immediately move to plan C men ok sarge thanks for the heads up.

Liz was a critical thinker and I’m on back porch having coffee after work with Dunc pup who was a surprise for her yet part of her planning in life. Ok we need to get another dog her reasoning three years ago was.

Mr Big paws who is now fifteen was starting to show his age. Liz was like when he Mr Big paws passes we can’t let the Boog without a companion Boog didn’t do well being alone.

So I scored Dunc July of 2020 as a surprise brought him home and oh Liz was in love. Thing is Boog passed and Mr Big paws is still kicking getting around. I told Dunc we’re definitely onto plan B maybe plan C now.

Dunc - Ok Sgt man thanks for the heads up. This plan we’re doing right now is great as in rubbing my chonk of a belly.

1. Does this mean you're going to go back and look at the puppies you saw for sale

but didn't stop took at when you drove past them a few days ago? You know you want to, and so do your boys! After all, Duncanpup will need a fellow canine in the house when Mr. Bigpaws is called home to Doggie Heaven....

And to describe pup daycare you ever see the movie the dream team with Michael Keaton that’s Duncs crew at pup camp.

4. I wish to share something with you.

I was with my beloved departed wife for nearly 40 years. Her death was quick, undiscovered leukemia. The doctors asked her is she was in pain. She said no. They looked at me like "This isn't normal." She was, from what you have written about your dear Liz, much like her. A critical thinker who stayed on top of all the things I was not willing to do or just plain lousy doing. A diligent person, a kind friend to all who needed anything. She produced magic at times, buying me a farm truck the day after I suggested we start saving up for one. She got me a beautiful Ford Ranger that never failed me...until she died. She made everything better in my world, and she touched the lives of hundreds here where we live. The day after she died (it was just before midnight on the 4th of July when he system gave out) a dairy farmer, "Koni", from the next town over stood at my gate, tears in his green eyes and assured me that we ALL had lost a very fine friend. I thanked him for his kindness. He was the first of over 250 neighbors and friends and strangers who came to honor her passing and offer me whatever I needed. Because of her. I, like you, sat on the porch drinking my coffee and enjoying the songs of the birds. I write to suggest that such women are an incredible blessing and gift in this life. My dear Carla has been gone for 6 years nearly, and not a day goes by without my breaking down in tears. The only thing I can offer is the insight that these tears are also a blessing she sends me to remind me of how much she still matters and how much I will always love her. So glad you have the boys and dogs. Peace.

5. Oh no, sorry to hear that Boog passed too.

A lot of us here on DU grew to love big old Boog and are sorry to hear of his passing. What a strong person you are to survive such doubled loss so gracefully. Your boys, Mr. Big Paws & Duncpup are lucky to have you and we're glad you're still here kicking around.

6. Wow you got me going. We were married thirty-six and a half years starting on this date.

This is the eighth unniversary. She too was the planner with the big picture goals. Miss her every day. Weeding her flower beds I still hear voice saying "don't step on that".
