Rescue Dog Finn: A New Challenge

January 31, 2013 by Jeane George Weigel

Although the sun has come out, showing this paradise in my favorite splendor–light glittering on snow, blue shadows, mountains covered in a white glaze, it is still bitterly cold, temps in the single digits at night.

We are all snug in this well-built, tight, home, with the wood bin full.

The birds continue to graze…

… and graze…

,,, and blissfully graze…

… completely unaware of this.

(Don’t worry, the birds feed on the opposite side of the house from the cat run so no one will get hurt). I use it as an example only. Life can be like this sometimes, often in fact. We can be cruising along suspecting nothing when trouble strikes. It’s just the way life is built, I think–the light and the dark, offering us lessons and tests sometimes and joy and wonder at others. As my friend and blog reader, Grace, would say, “It’s all perfect.” And it really is.

I got some bad news yesterday about dear Finn (see previous posts Rescue Dog: Meet Finn (Survivor),  Rescue Dog’s Happy Success Story: Finn Thrives, and Rescue Dog Finn: A Love Story). I’ll try to write about it today to post tomorrow. I am determined he will live. He’s a very strong dog. But we would like all your good thoughts coming to him over the next several weeks, possibly months, of his treatment.

More about Finn’s next challenge tomorrow.

Love to you all,

Jeane

About High Road Artist IMG 9461 150x150I am Jeane George Weigel, a working artist living in the mountains of northern New Mexico, and I do not think you and I are so different.

Every single one of us longs to know what we ache for, to “follow our bliss” as Joseph Campbell famously put it. You may find yours as an artist, a writer, or a teacher. But I am convinced we all yearn to live what is in our hearts. Some of us spend a lifetime discovering what that is. Some never find it.

This blog is about a journey of self-discovery, yours and mine. I write about the experience of living an artist’s life and share musings and photos as this living experiment unfolds. It is my hope you’ll join in the conversation by writing to me about your lives and I dearly hope something, here, will inspire you.
