Dad of Lulu - sweet Lulu has crossed The Bridge

Awwww so it's a new doggie to welcome?? Is Papi staying?? So cute in the photo!! Hugs to you and Moo and it is so nice to hear from you as always xxxxx

I think this new baby has found an empty spot in your heart, and wants to fill it. I hope he stays with you, and he will have the most wonderful life. Blessings

Papi has been renamed to Stanley, so if we do get a female yellow lab, she will be Stella, from, 'Streetcar Named Desire'. Well, Stanley is very lovable, is cute, and loves hiking our property. He does get aggressive or protective when someone comes to the door. We don't like that. I am hoping we can change that. He is gentle, but the initial stranger coming isn't setting well. I am going to seek professional help on that front. One of our cats has come around and nosed Stanley, the other is getting a bit better.

Stanley and Stella. You got a love that!:) Well, you have half of the duo and he sounds terrific! :D

Bob and Moo,
Glad things are going well with Stanley.
Thank you for checking in on me at times.
It's been very hard and I appreciate all the love from everyone.

Well made it through six months without Lulu :( . Stanley has helped :) . He is just such a man. He tries hard, I do have to be firm with him, but he responds and comes. He was trained to do that before and that is so refreshing. Now Lulu had a mind of her own, she was as Moo says our material girl! And we loved her for that. Stanley is another personality and he really is a keeper. We are going to get professional training for him, maybe next month.

On the job front I have been doing more with the web design business, and the owner I do most of my work for, says he can pay me to help the lady that is doing SEO. But he says he can't pay me as much as I get on the web design. But I can probably do this all at home, so that is great. I still will keep looking, but I don't mind the lower pay if it's full-time and I can still work with other clients for more.

We aren't out of the woods by any means, but there is always hope.

I think I am going to change my quote, to Never, never, never give up. Still by Churchill, but it has been my inspiration for the last couple of months!

Papi is handsome! I hope that it works out for him and all of you :)

Good to hear from you. It does sound like things are looking up. Maybe not to the top, but you're on the way and that is a good thing.
I like the Never, Never Give up. I think we all have to have that in our lives.

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Valerie we did change the name form Papi to Stanley. The family that had him is Mexican, so the name was Mexican. The boy Jaron came over about a month ago and Stanley and him were very happy. Jaron was very happy that Stanley was adjusting to the home. He was so worried that Stanley would have to go the pound!

Awww, that's great that the child understood the circumstances and that he is happy for Stanley.
