Hey there, Lanuria.

Dear Courtney,

     As I write this letter you are already getting settled in the Land of Snow and Cheese. I want to keep it short and simple and just say I will miss you in about a month since that is about how often we hung out. Also, I look forward to my new life as your e-friend. Now for some pictures!

You are always representin' Azeroth.

Posing for me makes me happy!

Wonder who you're texting?

More posing for the camera.

And the guy who's stealing you away from me, well he's pretty cool (and he puts up with you), so I guess it's okay with me.

That doesn't mean Dan and I will miss you any less. Come back and visit soon, bring cheese, etc.

The three of us, adventuring.

Love,
    Tara

P.S. Be happy I didn't post the embarrassing pictures. =P

So it's been too long. Again. But here I am...

This entry has been on my mind for weeks but everytime I sit down to write I can't bring myself to do it. A month ago today my puppy, Delaney, died. This entry is in memory of her. I don't want to focus on the bad and all the crying and the hurt and how difficult the whole situation was. I'd rather think about all the wonderful things she has done for me. Delaney taught me a different kind of love. What I admired most about her was that she truly was a being who did not know hate which is something I would like to be able to say for myself and, well, anyone else. She was my first dog and even though we only had her for seven months she brought me so much happiness and I can only hope that Dan and I did the same for her. I could write for hours but no matter what I write here it won't do her justice, hopefully these pictures will.




This is definitely my favorite puppy portait that I've taken of her. I took it the day Dan and I brought her home.



This one Dan actually took of her and I playing on the bed.
