Okay, I'mย on page 30 and Injave to stope to comment before proceeding.
First of all.....brrrr...not liking seeing the snow!
The pictures of the Church...and artist renderingย of Eurydice...LOOOOVE IT!
Two scenes really stand out.ย ย Beautifulย Eurydice standingย in front of the beating neart.....so beautiful.ย ๐ Very touching.ย Really speaks volumes.ย The way she stood in front of it with such grace and without moving a muscle......quite a connection.ย Seems like she was working some of her magicย and making sure her heartbeat would always be one with yours๐
OMD!ย The video of the Gondolier waving at Woody and Pedroย and calling out "Penguin"...ABSOLUTELYย ADORABLE !!!๐คฃ๐ย ย I can only imagine how many peopleย thought he was crazy as he told them about seeing a Penguin๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐๐๐
Okay, gonna go catch up on someย more of Eurydice's adventures with Pedro and Woody and Mom!๐
Love to all๐

Mom, Woody and Pedro were feeling quite nostalgic and a little bit sad, they were missing having me with them in the flesh ๐๐ฎ๐
Even if I am always around, for them not be able to cuddle with me and give me kisses is sometimes tough ๐

Oh Angel Eurydice! That is a look of surprise to be woken up when others are ready to hit the road. You could have slept in longer but they don't know how zippity quick it is for angels to travel.
Pedro and Woody sure know how to help Teresa with her travels and meet new friends. On another forum they are taking a rubber chicken photos. Angel Eurydice told me that Pedro was originally a rubber chicken when he felt the calling to live with Eurydice. Being the smart fella he is, he morphed into a penguin so he could make his way from the Falkland Islands (where they serve rubber chicken for dinner) to swim to Britain and became good friends with Eurydice. Oh, the stories Pedro could tell...ย
I love the photos, travels and even the reminiscing in the car. An now I'm experiencing Portugal in my living room. Enjoyable and educational.
Hugs for all,
Kerren
Omd, lol... great pictures! Woody and Pedro, that is a lot of love for mom to give you your own wheels!!
Sorry so late in getting caught up. Things have been a bit chaotic here. I cannot wait to see the rubber chicken photos too! Right now I am playing chef to liver cake for our furbabies, yummmโฆ ย
Eurydice, you picked a cutie to cuddle up with! And he looked like he was enjoying the cuddles as much as you. No matter where you go I have the feeling you have never met a stranger..ย
Lots of love, hugs, and big cuddles to all of youย ๐๐๐
Jackie and Huckleberry
Hugs,
Jackie, Bo, Andy, Oscar, Phoebe, and the coolest feral tripawd kitty Huckleberry
Hey Kerren, Jackie and all of our tripawdian family and friends ๐๐๐
Angel Eurydice held off her surprise for a long, long time ...
Reason being is she was waiting patiently for the stars to align and allow the most perfect, loving, cute, goofy, wonderful, marvellous little baby to be born ๐๐ฎ๐
Marcos, the breeder, lovingly brought her to the light (as we say in Portugal when a baby is delivered) โ ๏ธ๐คโ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ just like he did with my adored baby Eurydice ๐๐ฎ๐
She is Angel Eurydice's Great Niece, the granddaughter of Image (Eurydice's sister) and the daughter of Ara, Eurydice's niece and Image's daughter.ย
Did I manage to confuse you ๐๐ ???
Elixir D'Amour (who is still with us at almost 10 years old and doing fantastically well) is my baby girl's Great Grand Father and Eurydice's father โบ๏ธย
My heart is totally bursting with joy knowing I am still part of the loving Dogalmar family who make a REAL difference in the Dane world as they are not breeders, they are Great Dane Angel carers on this Earth.ย
Just as I said if I come back as a cat I want to be Lamar's Mom's cat ... well, if I come back as a Dane I want to be Marcos's Dane ๐๐พ๐
And now ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ ...
