This one made me cry.
A calendar of Basset Hounds from Don. As some of you may know, our 'Barklee' past away this past June. It is amazing to me how an animal can touch ones heart and become part of the family. His sense of humor always kept me laughing and his barking drove me crazy, but I loved him. He was my 'B'.
On the paper that the calendar was wrapped in was a little note telling me to go out and find another Basset Hound to touch my heart once again. While I know another one will not take his place it will be fun to have those long floppy ears and huge feet scampering throughout the house with Fergee. And one can never have too much fur in their home can one? And have I said that I have the sweetest husband ever:)
I hope your Christmas was fabulous too. Did you get any surprises?
'Till next time....

Your husband sounds like an absolute sweetheart. Barklee does too, but I know you have room in your heart for another furbaby. It takes time (I have been through it), but it will happen when you are ready. Good luck, Debra!

Glad you had a such a wonderful Christmas!

Hi Debra,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely gift from your husband. It is so hard to lose a friend, but it's always great making new ones. Good luck finding your new friend, my friend.

Aww, how sweet! Totally love that victorian settee and can't *wait* to see it finished...is it done yet?:)

I have a Maltese Terror who runs all over my apartment, drinks my coffee when I am not looking, and would love to bark at anything that moves outside. What was my life like before this crazy mutt? I also lost a sweet friend, Abby, just three years ago. I know that pain as well. Nothing will take her place but this one has made his own special place in my heart. So, I am happy you will be getting a new puppy.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, if you decide to come to Poland let me know! You will love it here, it is beautiful.
Hugs,
Rhonda
you do have a precious husband! i know, i was raised by a mother who believed if you had a horse it should live in the house! and i dread the day when i no longer get mad about sweeping up yet another pea size piece of cat litter! i remember well the moment i realized i would out live my pets...ugh! can't wait to see a pic of the pup!
