Again, No News

It's been 86 hours and I'm exhausted. Many of you know I have PAD which makes walking harder than it used to be, so with all the exercise I've had, I can barely move from one room to another. Good thing the dogs are on their best behavior!
I got some sleep last night, because I'm tired, AND because of a promise that a group of guys would go into the woods today and see if they could locate Cotton and Peri. Well, it's almost noon and no one has shown up.

I know you are supposed to learn something from everything you go through, especially the bad stuff. But I'm having a hard time figuring out what the lesson is with this. Checking to see that the gates are all closed seems too obvious. I can't think of anything I've done that needs punishment. I haven't even been particularly snarky lately. And if it's not MY lesson to learn, I wish something besides my dogs was the method.

I do appreciate hearing from all of you. It helps. A lot. Thanks.
