I've been in a writing slump for a while now.  Depression, the weather, no dog sledding and not enough dog walks.  And after last weekend's snowstorms that dumped a foot of snow in four days, I was beginning to feel at the end of my rope. 

That's when I picked up pen and paper and wrote this for Brut:

********************************************

You were fast and furious like the winds

that fell as gentle as the night sky

There was just something about you

that pushed the envelope

and brought rainbows in the night

Forever and ever how I will love you

Forever and ever the time was always right

My star, my love keeps falling

like the rain

You changed my life forever

In life and beyond

I will never know that love again

But only through God

*******************************************

Writing this even though some of it didn't make any sense to me, helped to break the ice of my writing slump.  I re-read it today and today it made sense to me.  Today is Brut's two year and 10 month anniversary of his passing.  This is how I'm feeling at this marker today about the dog that transformed my life and everything I know about dogs.  The heart and soul of this blog.

My forever dog, Brut
