Wow!!! Almost 11 months--where did the time go--she is almost a year old.:p:D:)
Her picture is so cute!! She is beautiful.:)
Miss Ella would love to play with her, but I am afraid she might hurt Bailey with how she herds the other dogs and some she rolls around with on the grass after a full run to get to them.
Here's to a happy Sunday!!:D
Thanks Marie-I think she is cute and beautiful as well. (Of course I can't say that out loud...)
We'd have a real problem with playtime. Bailey will, more often than not, go down on the ground and turn her belly up. She's turning out to be rather timid. I don't understand why that happened.
Here's to a happy Sunday!!:D :)
Hey Susan, that is a mighty pretty picture of little Miss Bailey.
Merry Christmas!!!!!
love,
addy

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

It's Christmas night....for 50 more minutes. I just went back to reading the many posts at the period of time when Palmer so suddenly declined, then died, and then all the support that came forth from all of you. I'm not sure what spurned this on, but that doesn't matter.
Bailey has had her first Christmas. We had a fire in the fireplace. She had never seen a fire. She growled at first, but quickly became blase about it. She never really got into how "it's supposed to go" for opening her presents. She'd start and then right away she was eating the paper. She received several rawhide items and has been working on them all day. I'm not sure I want to be around the next time she poops!:eek::eek:
Anyway-I guess all this made me reflect to the past. Palmer was such fun at Christmas time.....but then I'm remembering his adult years. I don't remember how he was on his first couple of Christmases. I still have his duck. Bailey has destroyed the two I had set aside for later. If it's edible at all, she gets right at it. She's not going to get a chance to get Palmer's duck!
Anyway (again) I find myself really missing Palmer. It's been almost a year and a half. It surprises me how I can still tear up over his loss. I wonder if I went too fast to get a new puppy.
Just wanted to "dump" that. Pain shared is cut in half.:(

Susan my cosmo and amber have been gone for 16 yrs now and i still miss them so much - they were mother and son goldens - i know how you feel---we have our new furbabies but we will never forget our old ones --- glad the little one enjoyed the treats - hugssss
Thanks Cindy....I guess. That's so long......but I really miss my Mom still and she's been gone for 25 years. I guess the feeling is proportionate to the love we share with them. Palmer was very, very special.
I hope you had a nice Christmas.

Hey Susan,
My little kitten has been gone seven years. I lived with her 21 years. She was so fun at Christmas, helping wrap presents, hiding bows. I still miss her and at Christmas time, even more so. Over time, the memories of her at Christmas are now bittersweet. Sometimes though, I still shed a tear.
The capacity to share our lives with God's creatures and love them so and have such a bond is an amazing thing that not everyone can experience. I think it speaks alot about a person, this capacity to love. IF you were not this warm, big hearted, loving person, the memories would be not bothersome.
Bailey is still a pup. She will grow in to her own Christmas traditions. They may be different than Palmer's but you will come to enjoy and except them, of that I am sure. Right now, I think the memories still hurt a bit.
Sharing is always a good thing!!!!:):)
All my love,
addy
Hi Addy-
You're my BEST bud!!!!
Love,
Sus
Here's to a belated Christmas blessing!!!
It is such a hard time. This time last year we knew it was Maddie's last one. :(
Yes we do miss our mothers. I was walking through the Ralph's grocery store and there on the shelf were Blue Willow plates which made me remember my mom who gave me her plates from my grandparents--teared up right then an there. These plates are still at my parent's house. I went to see my dad and he misses her; this being his first Christmas without her. He knows she is better off not having the constant pain any longer, but wishes she was still here since she loved Christmas time so much. :(
Okay off that woe is me...with tears in my eyes. Where the heck is Carrol to make us laugh....:eek:
You will have great times with Bailey. We just have to remember they are their own little person with their own personalities. You will never ever forget Palmer, but Bailey will have her own place in your heart. Cindy said we grow another heart for the next fur baby that comes along....:o
It was so hectic around here with a pre-party, then a warm-up party on Christmas Eve, then on to another party to sing Happy Birthday Jesus, and then Christmas morning. Christmas dinner was at our house this year--homemade ox tail soup, prime rib, and the trimmings. All a great time!!! Ella wasn't really happy with all the people at her house, but I know next year she will be calmer.
Thanks for always being there and I know the new year will bring many happy memories for all of us!!!
Happy New Year ahead of time!!!
