OMDog, E. There is just no way to be sad while looking at your big goofy jowls carrying that harness around!
Those look like some well-lived days, E! Keep on playing and traveling and slobbering on as many toys as possible! Can't wait to see where you go next!
Lots of Love,
Kat and Astro

Girlfriend, you have SUCH a wonderful life, so full of joy and sweet times. It makes our day to know that you and your mom are living each day to the fullest, seeing new things and making a big impact in the world. You can put pawprints in my car anytime.

Nice quote Kat!
Eurydice, I know you hate the rain, but it sure did give you a great opportunity to make some great muddy pawprints 🙂 🙂 Gives those white sheets a little pizzazz!
Your Mom does a splendid job of translating your thought bu bles! Spot on!!
I've got a feeling you're dreaming about all the cuddles you'll be getting tomorrow, as well as meet new doggy friends!
Have some good zzzzzs tonight sweet girl
Lots and lots of love!
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!

Hey Jerry 🐺
Thank you so much for your pawsitive energy, Mom really appreciates all good thoughts and paws crossed for her girl ... ME🐮
And ... I'd love to leave paw prints in your car, that would mean we'd get to play together 👍🏼so double paw prints right, Jerry 🐾🐾🐮🐺?
Hey Astro & Kat 🐶🌼
What a lovely, lovely quote 💗 and so true !
I will do my best not to disappoint you, Astro ☝🏼️
Tonight I've already slobbered Pedros the penguins extensively 🐧🐧 and then played with Mom but got carried away so she now sports a bump on her forehead where I hit her with my head by mistake ... uuups ... 😐
I'm sure a lot of our Moms understand the perils of playing with a Dane 🤕 but they can never resist our goofiness can they 🃏?
Hey Sally 🌺
Shhhh .... it's not Mom who is translating my thoughts, it is ME who is typing away when she is not looking ⌨️🏓🏓🏓
You've got my dreams right, they are always lovely ☁️💕☁️💕☁️ and Mom says I sigh a lot when I'm dreaming, which she adores 😍
Lots of luuuurve and cuddles to you all and super hugs from Mom 😘😘😘💕🐾💕💕💕

Where is Mom ????
As she feels extra generous this morning (those croissants were super yummy) maybe I can get her to buy me a little chocolate at this gourmet shop ...

Guess what ?
Just before we left, Andre sent Mom my paw print's photo with a pen next to it to give you guys an idea of size, as auntie Sally suggested earlier ...
BIG paw, hey?
