Patience is a virtue they say (not sure who THEY are but I love old sayings) This is a patient girl. She knows that she will eventually be getting some of what Hank is working on. Mary sets up a treat bowl so that Sammie doesn't suffer during the 5-10 minutes of "waiting".
We talk about everything during Sunday bfast. Hank and Mary are of the mindset that when ones pet dies, you automatically replace it. I mean, would they replace Joyce?? Would I replace Jessica? I would not dream of replacing Sammie just because she passes away. She is a unique being. I am also anxious to be at a less encumbered time of my life (at times overly so). I can go nowhere without obtaining a "babysitter"and making meals ahead, etc. Even at that there is the whining and negative comments before I leave and when I come back. I long for freedom, for now it comes in little things like bfast at H&Ms or shopping and dinner with Pat and the girls.

Just catching up. I have had a number of doggies in my life and I never "replaced" one. Every doggy is a unique little personality and I wouldn't have been without Buzzie, Mitzi (don't ask), Ginger, Buppers, Swatch, Mr Bowzer or Checkers (who is now 18 years old) for the world.
When Checkers crosses the rainbow bridge, we will have a time to mourn and then we'll go to the shelter and pick out a new little personality to love.
A belated happy birthday to you!
Ken
