Another Week has Passed

Well, another week has passed since Lucian came into our lives.  He is settling in just fine as you can see in the pictures.  My husband and I started posting his ears again to get them to stand yesterday.  It took a while for them to completely heal up so we wouldn’t hurt him with the posting.  We’re hoping that not too much time has passed and that we’ll eventually get Lucian’s ears to stand with the distinctive Dobie look.  If not that’s ok too.

Also, last week Leland’s headstone arrived.  That was a hard day.  Both my husband and I cried that evening getting it placed in the ground.  It’s 6 weeks today that we had to let Leland go.  We still miss him terribly and wish he was still with us but we know that wouldn’t have been fair to him and he had too much dignity to live the sort of life he would have had.

We’ve noticed Lucian has the same fascination with butterflies and airplanes that Leland had.  It brings some piece watching Lucian be fascinated by the same things that Leland did.  It’s like Leland is letting us know through Lucian that he’s still with us.
