Well, I've been away from this blog for a while. Sorry about that, but it's hard for me to come up with things to write sometimes. But now, I feel I've found something that merits writing about, and it is this: I have a new puppy. On it's own, this is big news for me, but I don't really have a whole lot to write about it. However, I started this blog talking about the death of my dog, and I feel like this is sort of a continuation, or perhaps a resolution, of that.
The sadness I felt when I lost my dog was crushing, but it's now balanced by the joy that this new dog has brought me. It's times like these when I reflect on all that circle of life stuff, and how, as I once rather pretentiously said, life begets death, and death begets life. I guess you could say my last dog had to die for this one to take it's place. Of course, no dog could ever really replace him, and he'll always have a special place in my heart, but the empty spot in our family has been filled again now, and that's something.
On the subject of things coming full circle, today marks a full year on this site for me. I owe a lot to this place, and I'm thankful for all the wonderful people I've met. If it weren't for this site, I never would have met my beloved Ichirin no Hana, my girlfriend who I'm deeply in love with. Not to mention the other close friends I've made here, and all the great times I've had. So... thanks everybody. It's been wonderful, and I look forward to another great year.
I'll try to write another entry before too long. Maybe even in the next day or two. But we'll have to see how it goes.
