I haven't been here on Lit Net in a while. I've been busy with a lot of things. I guess the one newsworthy item with me is that we had to put our beloved Yellow Lab, Brandi, to sleep a couple of weeks ago. If you look in the pictures section on Lit Net you'll see I posted pictures of her. I may even have them in my photo album, I can't remember. Poor Brandi had canine hepatitis (which had destroyed her liver) and lymphoma, a double whammy. It was impossible to treat both and we waited until she had stopped eating to finally put her out. At the end she hadn't urinated for 24 hours and was bloating up, and when she finally peed it was orange. We knew it was time, but it was heartbreaking. It's been two weeks and we're still in mourning. I may post a memorial post for her.
I see Bluebird here is having her Advent count down to Christmas again. Here is what I think is everyone's favorite Advent song. I really like this version in the original Latin.
