Good morning everyone. I hope you had a great day yesterday and looking forward to a better one today. All of the fur gang are doing well as we enjoy our unusual warm weather for this time of year. Yesterday when I got home from serving on the Grand Jury Mama was waiting for her walk. Even through she had gone with Sue she still wanted her Dad to go with her, so we went for a stroll about town.
She reminds me of Old Fella in many ways. You can tell she is so grateful to be living with us and her love and devotion is very deep. She always lets me know she is around if I need someone to love on and to talk with. It is a given now that when I go somewhere she is ready and willing to go with me. When I pick up the keys for the truck no matter where she is in the house she comes running to the door wagging her tail saying "Im' ready, lets go."
What a wonderful blessing older dogs are as they become such close companions. I am glad things worked out for Mama and Hobo to stay with us as each day they show just how much they enjoy life. Suzie has made some big changes since they have been here in that she allows Mama and Hobo to participate in all the pats without becoming jealous. Peaches goes along with just about anything accepting whatever comes her way as part of family life. In the mornings Peaches will jump on the bed when Sue lets her out of the kennel and snuggles just as close as she can get. She and Mama doesn't go out on the first call, only Suzie and Hobo. Mama can't get on the bed, thank goodness but will lie down next to the bed and wait for me to get up, then she is ready to go outside. She wants to be sure I am okay before she leaves the room.
I fainted last week while we were in Cherokee, It was low blood sugar. When I fell to the floor in the camper, Mama came over and was trying to protect me. Sue had a hard time getting to me with Mama standing guard. Mama wasn't goning to let Sue attend to me until she finally convienced Mama she was only trying to help. When I came back around there was Mama licking my face trying to let me know she was there. What great love she has for her family.
Okay I have to go for now, talk with you later
