She's so happy! I love these videos and photos, thank you for sharing them. What a wonderful soul she is.
Thank you for showing us how well she is doing with the magic pills. I'm so happy to see Evelyne (beautiful name), Reilly and Frankie again. Where was Justine? She's so good at playing the penguin game with Eurydice. Now, there's a new friend, the fireman (nameless) and his staffie! Eurydice is collecting friends of all professions - police officer, fireman, ....
As always I love seeing her daily activities and that Pedro gives her comfort as her sleeping buddy.
Wishing you more joyful days!! Cheers to wonder drugs. Love to both of you, and Mickey too.
Auntie Kerren, Eli and Mona
Catching up now. oh, Miss Cow is simply the best. Teresa, I'm so sorry for the stinky vet's news. Pay no attention! Treasure your girl and spoil her rotten!
Eurydice has had the best adventures. We have had the best time following along with the two of you.
Thinking of you both, wishing you peace in this impossible journey.
hugs
Teri and angel Isa
Right rear leg amp 7/12/16 due to OSA. Metastatic lesion on her right front leg, January 2017. Joined the Winter Warriors January 19, 2017. Run free my sweet girl.
YAAAAAAAAAY!!!! MORE ADVENTURES WITH EURYDICE!!!! 🙂 🙂 Gosh Miss Cow, your new home is soooo beautiful with such lovely scenery and views, we feel like we're on vacation with you again!!
I'm going back to look at the videos as my little fun R & R treat to myself tonight. But I did look at the one with Reilly and Frankie because Eurydice always has such an extra pep in her step when he pets her and talks to her! He has such a positive energy around her, as does Justine and Frankie too! I just loooove that Eurydice welcomes everyone and always positions herself for cuddles and petting!! 🙂 And to "allow" other dogs into her home turf without so much as a glance is so special! That Mickey is a sweetheart of a dog too! 🙂
I'm glad Auntie Evelyne brought you some treats Miss Eurydice!! However, ...shhh.....we saw your virthday feast so we know you are NOT being starved! But...shhh....we won't tell Auntie Evelyne!
Oh gosh! The picture of you HIDING behind the tree!!! You are REALLY good at hide and seek! I knew you were there because you told us you were...but we couldn't see you 🙂
And you and that cutie pie Fireman and his adorable Staffy....sooooo special!! You just touch everybody's loves Miss Cow!
Your are pure MAGIC Eurydice!! 🙂 🙂 And you work your magic everyday by making people smile and bringing out their love within.
Okay, you and Pedro rest up Eurydice! See ya' tomorrow! 🙂
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!
... mornin' everybody
... I SO love to read your comments and SO love that you love to follow my (wonderful) days ...
... now, auntie Kerren, let me just explain Justine wasn't here because she went to Rome to see her parents for a couple of days but I still loved to have Reilly and Frankie around ...
... the fireman remains nameless for the moment, Mom forgot to ask his name and he forgot to ask hers ...
... but both of them asked our names, isn't that funny? ...
... so let's say there's Eurydice and Athos and their Mom and Dad 
... Mom asked me to say she is really moved by ALL of you adorable, adorable, adorable people, such a shame the world is not ruled by you guys, there would be no war and lots and lots and lots of happy animals everywhere
...........
... so, going back to my day ...
... it started on a relaxed note, two hounds snoozing in bed ...
