Teresa how wonderful you were able to visit Tina and Manni one last time. I hope you were able to give her hugs from all of us too since we aren't able to do so in person. ❤️ Thanks for sharing all those glorious pictures with us too as we can never get too many pictures of Tina and Manni and Eurydice and Teresa. Maybe someday you mothers-in-law can travel together to the states...❤️ Now THAT would be a party! Both Eurydice and Manni live on in all our hearts forever! ❤️❤️
Hi Kerren sweetie pie 🌺
You are so right.
Friendships made here last for a lifetime, we are all bonded by the tragic events that brought us here but through sharing our stories and becoming part of the tripawdian family we learn to accept the facts and squeeze every moment as if it was our last and by doing so, we truly learn the meaning of life.
Carpe Diem.
Seize The Day.
And that is what I am still doing with Angel Eurydice, Pedro the penguin (a wonderful gift you sent Miss Cow all the way from Vancouver Island) and Woody the woodpecker (another wonderful gift Clare gave Miss Cow when she came to France to meet her)
God knows where Angel Eurydice is taking us and when our travels will end 💕🕊🐮💕🚙💨💨💨💨
Hi Linda sugar bun 🌸
I would LOVE to travel to the States to meet you 💓 and if Tina would come along that would be absolutely TERRIFIC 😆
In fact, I've got a preliminary itinerary in my head already, I almost went to see you all last year but then personal matters got in the way 😠
It is such a pleasure to keep Angel Miss Cow's adventures going, to be honest she wouldn't have it any other way 🤠
She inspires me every day and although I cannot see her or hug her I know she is very much alive, just in another form, that's all.
And so are all of our Angels 💕🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💕
Stay happy and well girls, love you to bits 😘😘🐮💫✨🌟🌹

... Sonia's Dobbie, Angie, never met Miss Cow in the flesh as she was adopted after Eureka earned her silver wings ...

... I am listening Mom, Pedro is so good at explaining Miss Cow's adventures ...
... Pedro gave Angie the cutest smile and blushed with pleasure 🐦😍...
... hey !!! ...
... how about telling ME Eurydice's stories too, says Matt, the Great Dane ...
... I haven't met her either, in fact I was born the exact day she earned her wings and Marcos was the first one to see me, just like Eurydice ...
... we were both lucky to be born at the breeders loving home in Portugal 💓...

... before Angie could make her move Pedro and Woody went out into the balcony with Sonia and Edouard ...
... in the name of democracy there will be no exclusive interviews, I'm afraid, said Pedro ...
... I totally agree said Woody ruffling his wings and puffing his chest out ...

... that's a great decision, you are not only cute but you are also fair, just like Eurydice ...
... we're ready to hear some of yours and Miss Cow's adventures when you're ready, says Sonia ...
... Sonia and Edouard could not feel happier right now ...
... what do you think, Woody, said Pedro ? ...
... shall we sing a little song before we tell our stories, now that we have such a willing audience ? 🎼🎼🎼...
... yes, yes, says Woody, great idea ! ...
... and he gets ready to take off and fly next to Angel Eurydice as she wants to sing along too 🐦🐮🎤💨💨💨...
... what a cheerful day ☀️💗...

That looked like a wonderful visit with a totally captive audience 🤗 maybe exceptionally captive? 🤭🤭 I am glad they were telling stories and not playing hide and seek, eh? 🐧🙀 🐦 Beautiful pups, I have a very soft spot for Dobies too 😘 Matt is also very handsome, looks like a "mini" version of Scott?
Waiting for Miss Cow to pop in 🕊💖 🕊 I adore your photos of her!
I hope all is well with you and yours 💕💕
Hugs,
Jackie and Huckleberry 
Hugs,
Jackie, Bo, Andy, Oscar, Phoebe, and the coolest feral tripawd kitty Huckleberry 
... hey there Jackie, sweetheart here I am, in my snoozing mode 😴...
... so glad you like my friends, Angie is a little hyper 🤪 but Scott can calm her down if need be ...
... Matt is 9 months old (still a puppy), he's black and Scott is blue but they do look alike and are great pals ...
... great pals just like you and Mom, I reckon 👯♀️
