... this was the last time Marcos and me met on this earth ...
... he was the one who brought me to the light (the Portuguese expression for being born) 🐮☀️ ...
... he adored me and trusted my beloved Mom to look after me ...
... these are the two humans I most loved ever 😍😍...
... and forever love 💗🏹...

Beauuutiful. You can just see the love between you and Marcos. Forever friends, there's no doubt about that.

Finally I get to see the videos and pictures and make a post, it has been a hectic few days. You did it again Teresa, you always seem to bring me right there and it is like sharing the amazing emotion and love that you and Eurydice shared with each other and with others in your lives. Seeing Eurydice's family was just breathtaking. I am geographically challenged lol... that was Portugal where she was born? I am not very well travelled, but I have always heard that Portugal is beautiful.
Marcos looks very passionate and dedicated to the Danes, it is easy to see now why Miss Cow was such an angel. It takes a special person to find features and personalities that do any breed justice and he has done that perfectly. I have to tell on myself here... as I was looking through your photographs for a moment I thought one of her relatives was a tripawd too.. lol, then i laughed at myself when I realized it was your girl 
I think the water dish is an amazing idea... I can actually picture ceramic tiles of her paws making a path leading to one of her paw made a little more "bowl like" on a small pedestal or square stone and the birds soaking up the water 
Sending you all hugs and smiles, thank you for making me smile after such a long stressful week.
Jackie and Huck
Hugs,
Jackie, Bo, Andy, Oscar, Phoebe, and the coolest feral tripawd kitty Huckleberry 
Hi sweet Rene and sweet Jackie 🌷🌻
Marcos and Eurydice's love was and is a treasure, they adored each other beyond words 💗🏹 since the first second she was born ...
He took two months to decide whether I could have her (the monster!) even if he knew how I do everything and anything for my babies.
Marcos is the best, most loving breeder I have ever seen in my life, their Danes are the happiest dogs ever and they don't live in kennels, they live in AC/heated houses, sleep on queen size mattresses and each house has outside areas to play.
All of this was built in his property just off his house.
Plus all of his Danes get to sleep in his house rotatively (I mean in his bed, his partner's bed and his son's bed plus on the couches)
The old Danes live in the main house for ever.
He moved from Porto, a biggish town and bought a house in a village on the edge of a forest so the dogs could have a wonderful life and go for daily walks in nature.
And yes, Eurydice was born in Portugal ☀️
Oh boy Jackie, you got me going, girl, whenever I start talking about Marcos and his Danes there's no stopping me I'm afraid ...
Great idea about the paw print path and then a bigger one for birds to have baths in, Eurydice adored birds I'm sure she is cheering from above 🐮🌟💕
Well, I better get going ...
Hopefully Angel Eurydice, Woody and Pedro will be back in a tick to share some more adventures with you 💕🐮🐦🐧💕
Stay happy and well, Rene and Jackie, sending you a huuuuuge hug and cuddles, slobbery kisses from above and a song or two from "the birds" 😘😘😘🐮💫✨🌟🌹

... with a heart full of warmth and love, the four of us went back to Lisbon to meet Mario, a fellow Dane lover and another of Angel Miss Cow's wonderful friends ...
... he had several Danes in his human life but one his dogs was now an Afeghan hound called Igor whom Mario rescued from appalling abuse ...
... he had lymphoma and was being treated using all the latest weapons medicine could provide, namely an experimental vaccine who proved to give him over one extra year of being spoiled, pampered and loved by his devoted Daddy ...

... since the last time we all met with Miss Cow still here with us, Igor had gained a lot of weight and his coat was almost back to full Afeghan hound glory 🏆...
... hey, Igor, look who's here to say hello 🐧🐦😉 ...
... no Daddy, I'm scared of Penguins and Woodpeckers 😳...

... don't be silly Igor ...
... these are not "Penguins' and "Woodpeckers" ...
... this is Pedro and Woody, Eurydice's best friends 💕🐮🐧🐦💕...
... Pedro prompted himself to the floor and squeaked ...
... "see, I am not moving, my belly is up, you can pat me" ...
... "I swear I am friendly, Igor" ...

... maybe I was being a cry baby after all ...

... Igor is now with Eurydice both of them beautiful Angels in the sky 💕🐮🕊🌟💕 ...
