Susan and I are saddened to say that we had to put Beasley to rest this morning. Very early this morning she suffered a stroke that left her unable to walk without our help. While she has been unable to run for quite sometime, and walked slowly, she enjoyed a dignified and happy last year of her life in retirement as she had handed over the responsibilities to Bailey. I’m sure she is now being guided by Shadow once again as she was as a puppy. She joins Whiskers and Mabel as well as Shadow and Nicky now. I thanked “The Beas” this morning for taking such good care of us and our home. I’m so very grateful for all that Susan has done in the last 2 years, along with Dr. Kelly, to help her along in her senior years to live with medical conditions that allowed Beasley to be happy and retain a quality of life. We are so very sad today.
Thank you so much Beasley for making our lives better.
Bailey, Susan and Bob
In all the years we’ve lived here we still never take the beauty for granted. An example of this would be our recent boat ride down the Kootenay River. We just love it. We go between the dams, those being South Slocan to Brilliant. It’s very quiet as there is little boat traffic. The pictures you see are of the area. In one picture you can see the Glade ferry in our wake. We’ve even found a waterfall that you can only get to by boat. The water is most times like a sheet of glass. Actually if it is rough we don’t bother going out. The river is only a couple minutes from our home. It’s no wonder we see so many tourists/motorhomes in the area. Nice to live here. We love it and you can see why.
I’m so lucky to have Susan and her green thumbs working on the gardens. She works very hard and I wanted to post some pictures to show what a wonderful job she’s done! The vegetable gardens are protected now by our solar powered battery charged electric fence. So far, we’re winning against the deer & elk. We’ll keep our fingers crossed.
