New Friends

Tuffy is not one of ours but we had a great time with him today. As you can see, he always attempts flying. We enjoyed him immensely!

Here is today's gallery.

In among a very tough night and day we still manage to make sure the dogs have fun. When they have fun it gives me smiles.

Elvis departed - so did Bria and Tuffy. 

We lost Risa today. She jumped for her dinner last night. We went out last night to meet our daughter's inlaws to be. We got called from our son that something was wrong with Risa. We believed she had a stroke. Then today she had several seizures. I posted photos on Facebook. I am spent and can't write anymore. It's a gin night and I have already poured a drink. I miss her so and Nathan is exhausted as he stayed up with her all night. I could tell you funny stories about her... indeed a great grand dam!

Sorry... its all I have.

Thank you, everyone and thank you for the flowers, Aliya, Alex and Tchibo. It meant a lot. I truly truly miss her from the depths of my soul.

Oh Darlah, Nathan and Dennis, I am so very sorry for your loss. When I first met Risa we were so hoping she would like us since Nathan told us we had to pass the Risa test to get a Havanese pup. When she kissed me I could have jumped for joy. She will always be so very special to us all. Again, we are so very sorry. 😒😒😒😒

I’m very sorry, Darlah. It’s the saddest goodbye. Hugs to all.
