Advent

Its wet and dark outside, has been raining for days............ this is not my weather so i put on the 3e Advent candle on my Christmas wreath. The first candle is for stones, the 2e for plants and this 3e is for animals. Seeing (and hearing) my sweet Venus sleeping by my side should make me happy but it doesnt. I'm thinking of my dear friend Yvette she has lost her dog Sjoukie and i know her tears are mingling with the raindrops...........
