Buddy

BUDDY

He left me today.

It was better for him.

At first he acted a little sad

And I was feeling a little bad.

I kept my head held high

And gave everyone information about him.

They needed to know as much as I knew

After all, he’d belong to them now

I wanted everyone to be comfortable.

Especially him.

He kept coming back to me, leaning

against my body and looking into my eyes.

I’d give him the assurances it was good and

send him back to his new family.

His new Mom, his human sisters and a brother -

They were all so excited that I needed him to feel

as comfortable as possible. 

When it came time that they gave me all the

signs this would be his forever family and

be happy, it was time to pack him up and I knew I had

to “up” my game.  I raised my sing-song voice to

a happy song and his ears perked up.  A smile came across

his face as I sang words like outside, ride in car, let’s go– and the

children picked up on it – the excitement filled the air

And Buddy was excited to go. 

It broke my heart – but it’s what Buddy needed. 

He was happy.

We all loaded their car with Buddy’s things – they already had

their Buddy on his leash and in their car.  As they backed out of

my drive and pulled away, Budders looked back at me.

I whispered, “I love you”. 

He whispered back, “Thank you”.

This is the Master Bedroom in our new home.

This is a KING SIZE bed.

This is a beautifully made bed in the morning once we're all out of there and I've had a chance to re-make it, and fluff 9 pillows as if the bed will be in some Macy's window for display.  I show you soon.  But for nite-time, the fancy-schamcy pillows come off - the doggie blanket goes on, the dogs settle in and you can see how much room is left for one medium size woman. 

Well, I suppose if I learn to roll up into a ball like them, I could fit in that middle...

I hope the couch gets delivered soon.....

Soon - I'll tell you about this soon

Zoe and her New Booties!!!

(Some just - well - they just WON'T!)

...and we just have to laugh about it.....

God made me this cute

It's a New Year, this 2012

* * * * *

We thought a great way to start the year was

in top gear - and with a horse -
...dog-horse...two perfect species, no?

Happy New Year!
