Congratulations on the new pup; she's certainly a keeper!!!! I, too, love to read, and I love James Herriot. In my next life, I want to be a vet in 1930's Yorkshire... Anyway, he was a huge advocate of getting another dog as soon as possible. I think he is absolutely correct. We've been without a dog for almost three months now-- it stinks. I can't think of a better way to honor Miss Abby than by bringing another dog into your home and loving her to pieces. Everybody wins.
PS My favorite dog story of all time is Mrs Donovan in James Herriot's Dog Stories.
Scout: January 31, 2002 to November 7, 2011
Scout's diagnosis was "poorly differentiated sarcoma"; amputation 1/11/2011. Scout enjoyed 9 fantastic years on 4 legs and 9 glorious months on 3 legs. If love alone could have saved you…

Waaaay too sweet to be a real MB! What a doll!
Congratulations on bringing this sweetie into your life and THANK YOU for adopting a pup who really needed an awesome home like yours. She won the lotto!
My Momma says that Rita reminds her a lot of me when I was a pup, what with the white socks and all. Who knows, maybe those ears will stand up like mine did?
What a lucky pup, we are SO hoppy for all of you!

Oh BunBun Rita Dearest - Smoochems!
I wrote a song for you my hunny buttbunny Rita Sweeta Darling:
Here's how it goes:
♫ ♫ ♫ ♪
I love you!...I love you!...I love you!...
I love you!...I love you!...I love you!...
I love you!...I love you!...I love you!...
I love you!...I love you!...I love you!...
I love you!...I love you!...I love you!...
(CHORUS)
I love you!...I love you!...I love you!...yes I do!
I love you!...I love you!...I love you!...yes I do!
I love you!...I love you!...I love you!...yes I do!
(2nd Verse)
♫ ♫ ♫ ♪
I love you!...I love you!...I love you!...
I love you!...I love you!...I love you!...
I love you!...I love you!...I love you!...
I love you!...I love you!...I love you!...
I love you!...I love you!...I love you!...
(CHORUS)
I love you!...I love you!...I love you!...yes I do!
I love you!...I love you!...I love you!...yes I do!
I love you!...I love you!...I love you!...yes I do!
Now, I can't get the song out of my head! But you are so worth it!

Hi MBBVP, Mama says I am too young for a boyfriend. Especially one with an eye patch. Mama says to watch out for boys with eye patches. She says they are usually up to no good stuff, which is usually how they ended up with the patch in the first place.
Mama said my angel sister was flirty and fickle. I am not flirty. I am just sweet.
I hope that we can still be friends. Even if I am breaking your little fuzzy heart.

{Did I do it right, Angel-sister Abby? Did I do a good job playing hard to get?}
Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman.

I likey your ears. You is super cute. 
I could totally chase squirrels with you. Do you like to also chase birds? I hate birds. They are my nemesisises. Nemesi? Anyway, they bug me. Hmmm. Squirrel Boy and Bird Girl - that sounds like quite a match...

Oh my gosh and dog or rather puppy! She is adorable. I've been out of town and came back to this lovely news! Congratulations Jackie, she was the One for you! (And she is extra special 'cos she is an adopted baby and waited patiently for 2 months)
Loads of hugs and wags to you all
Joanne and Lylee
(oh yeah - better watch out for the boys, she is such a cutie and she knows it)
