Good Omens

Yes, that's a puppy. Our puppy. The newest member of Clan de Soto. Meet Maeryn, a spunky bundle of energy who entered our lives on Sunday, during a rescue mission of sorts. It seems Maeryn had been foraging around a trailer park, and the owner of said park had decided she was a nuisance and was going to shoot her. Enter our friend Miranda, who took Maeryn and brought her to Pyrth.

The good news is that there has been a pronounced change in Remy - he's no longer moping and instead is happily trouncing through the leaves with Maeryn, teasing her with toys that are kept just out of her reach, and closely guarding her while she "does her business" in the woods. He's taken on the big brother role with relish, and it's done him a world of good.
We're still grieving over our loss of Cenau - just typing out his name brings tears to my eyes. Maeryn is in no way a replacement for such a wonderful and loving companion. She is who she is, and will find her place in this family on her own terms I'm sure.


The other good omen this week was a call back on one of the thousands of resumes I've sent out - this one is for a good job based in Little Rock. It all starts with a phone interview and moves on from there - wish me luck. I'm very hopeful that little Maeryn is a sign from above that the tide is turning, and the pendulum has finally started to swing in the other direction.
