I’m still in Alberta. The apartment is so quiet now that they have left to go camping. I’m literally alone, no vehicle and not going anywhere till Friday.

John has picked up Troopers ashes and his paw print. I am sitting here crying missing him so much. I’m happy we have his ashes and I’m pleased I won’t be dusting dust. He will be in the urn in the garden and when we move he can come to the new home.

I’ve been thinking of what type of dog will be our next family member and hoping that some of Troopers traits will be seen in the new addition. Which won’t be for a long while.

I think tomorrow will be a complete shutdown day for me.

Friday Cheryl is coming to pick me up I’ll be with her till I fly out to BC on Sunday. I will spend 4 days with Jason.

Then I will fly back here to fly out on Friday to go back to ON. John will pick me up and we will go camp for the night. Then see Mom.
