Doggy Dogg World...

Rut roh!  It's officially National Dog Day and Mickey is happy to once again be a 'blogstar'!  What could be sweeter than a day to honor man's best friend?  Even tho the mighty Mickster is officially my Granddog, he deserves the title as Nonnie's Best Friend.  We love that mutt that Dane rescued and adopted 9 years ago.  He is a Ghetto Terrier-by our definition and he has wiggled his way into our hearts.  Mick is a great listener, cuddler and eater of treats.  He loves a good walk down the path and is very obedient after he has watered about 20 trees along the way.  His brown eyes are deep and tender when he looks at us, and it seems he knows every word we say.  He has been a loving and loyal companion to Dane and a welcome visitor to Nonnie and his Grandnonnie.  Mick is always up for a nap and/or a treat.  He tolerates Lola.  He is the best dog ever.

Recently friends had to put down their beloved 12 year old Golden Retriever and are now welcoming a new puppy into the family.  They just had to put their crazy dog love somewhere and Doc Holliday is the lucky recipient.  16 year old Misti said goodbye last week and her family is still in mourning for their gentle, good girl.  Dogs love you like no other and it is crushing to lose them.  The minute we acquire a dog it's only a matter of time till we have a broken heart.  But it's all worth it as they think we are the greatest thing ever.

Do you have a special dog in your life?  Share if you will...

Enjoy this last week of summer.  After Labor Day it somehow just seems over.  Ahhh, but the luscious fall is on it's way. xo

R.I.P. my old friend Mark Cousineau who at 51 years old, was way to young and way too loved to have crossed over.   Please, watch out for motorcycles and their drivers.  It can all end in a flash. xoxo Mark and may peace be with you and your family and friends who love you so very much. xo

I am sorry to hear about the loss of friends, both canine and otherwise. Such losses leave the world a little bit darker.

Hey Jodi, agreed on the losses, of Mark Cousineau.

Dogs. Many a dog in the past. Not so many nowadays. I like my siblings' hounds, from greyhounds to labs to mutts.

My sweetest dog was a yellow lab, Cady. Died of old age. I also loved Napoleon, a black lab, died in a truck accident. Let's not forget Pojo, a Tony Soprano sort of black lab!

Bummer 51.

So you're looking for autumn before the dog days are even over?--Oh Jodi how could you!

Charles-The holes in our hearts heal slowly with time. It's the horrible reality of life. Erik-I always had labs too! Asti-black, Sunny-yellow and Bailey-yellow. They were all smart and loving dogs. RIP babies. Mark-I know. Not looking for autumn exactly, just facing the fall-my favorite but too short time of year! Hugs to you my 3 Amigos! xo
