Just a quick update. Not much to say. I have been in such an awful mood since Saturday when the thieves killed our dogs and stole our stuff. Kind of like a zombie walking around. I’ve been trying to get the millions of things done that I’m supposed to do, but it’s tough keeping it all together.

Of course, nobody knows anything and the police won’t be ever getting back to us. Period. Just the way it works here. And people are so numb to this kind of thing around here that nobody seems to care. I was telling a friend what happened yesterday. He said, "Gosh, that’s too bad. Hey, have you got your tickets to the party for Saturday night yet?" I guess I have to keep reminding myself that dogs here for the most part are not pets.

Isaac was in the US the whole time and just got back a few minutes ago. He’s just walking around in a daze too. It’s certainly strange to come back to your home where everything is now different.

I guess, though we knew theft was a possibility, it wasn’t “real” to us until it happened. Neither of us can stop thinking about the dogs. Our hearts are broken.

The only good thing that has come of this is that the neighborhood has rallied together and we’re meeting tonight to talk about hiring a security guard, installing a communication system and maybe fixing the road.

Sorry I haven’t posted anything else this week. Every time I’ve thought about it, I couldn’t think of a thing to write.
