Well, the inevitable has happened...Last month we had Celeste spayed and this month her one and only true love, Galo the beagle, is being forced into an arranged marriage. Galo - noble, chunky, stalwort fellow that he is - is taking it all in stride with the stoicism of the older (three years old) man. Celeste is crying and moaning in her sleep. She found out about the situation while we were on the bike path...Galo was escorting the maid on the bike path this evening when we met him. The maid delivered the shocking news and, shortly afterward, Celeste retired to her crate crying softly into her water dish. Poor thing. So young to have her heart broken. Who knew, with all the free dog love on the streets of Lima, that there would be an arranged marriage on the not-so-distant horizon?
Poor Celeste. Will she recover? Will she find a new love or continue to worship Galo from a short distance (the other side of the bike path)? The rottweiler this afternoon was SOOO aggressive, so angry...why are all the good ones already taken?
On the upside, there are still all those women wearing interesting perfumes and carrying grocery bags full of intriguing goodies, all to be sniffed furtively as they pass on the sidewalk!

Poor Celeste - I hope she finds a new puppy love!
The price of celibacy? Galo doesn't know it, but Celeste live longer and be a more content girl than his current floozie. You've saved your girl from a life of hopping from one relationship to another her entire life, although she'll never appreciate it, and Galo will go right on sniffing out the next "hot chick" on the block. I think there's a soap opera in the making here.
Poor Celeste - it would be too cruel to tell her that this will be one of many disappointments instigated by footloose males. Some day she'll understand that no one will love her like her Mama!!!
I like the furtive sniffing part...sometimes I sniff furtively when I walk into the barn after a long day at work, then I wish I didn't sniff so furtively!
Celeste will live a long, stress-free life. No hormones, no boys! HA HA! She is a free spirit!
I just read your sock progress comment! WHOOO HOOOOO!!!! I hope you find it as addicting as I do. Dang it's fun (and functional). The toe is easy (the kitchner stitch to sew up the toe is a big fidgity, but worth it.) That heel turning becomes second nature after a while.
Can't wait to see pics, lady!
