THE PASSING OF AN ERA
THANK YOU ALL FOR REMINDING ME... YOU GIVE THEM A HAPPY LIFE AND WHEN IT IS OVER, IT IS OVER.
BAILEY FINALLY SAID TO ME "I HAVE HAD IT, I REALLY NEED TO SLEEP NOW." SO SHE HAS GONE TO THE RAINBOW BRIDGE ALONG WITH OTHER GREAT ANIMALS WITH WHOM I HAVE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF SHARING MY LIFE. IT MUST BE GETTING CROWDED UP THERE....
SHE IS OUT NEXT TO THE POND WITH TIFFANY..ANOTHER GREAT...
SO MANY MEMORIES- BUT THE ONE THAT STICKS OUT WAS BAILEY' S LAST TRIP WITH THE BASKET..SHE COULD BARELY WALK, BUT HER SENSE OF HUMOR CAME THRU WITH "LOOK EVERYBODY I CAN STILL GIVE HER THE DANM BASKET" AS SHE TOSSED IT AT MY FEET.
I NEVER WANTED TO TRY AND GET ANY OTHER DOG TO CARRY THE BASKET WHEN SHE WAS AROUND, BECAUSE I KNEW THAT WOULD HURT HER FEELINGS...
BUT I CAN START IT NOW. AND I DON'T HAVE MUCH TO WORK WITH...BENTLEY? IF YOU CAN'T EAT IT OR MAKE PUPPIES , HE ISN'T MUCH INTERESTED... TUMBLER IS EVEN TERRIFIED OF THE YUPPY PUPPY- SO IT IS GOING TO TAKE A WHILE.. BAILEY TRUSTED ME-- LONG AGO SHE LEARNED TO LEARN......I CAN'T SAY ANY OF THE CURRENT BUNCH ARE LIKE THAT... THEY ALL HAVE ANOTHER AGENDA --- SO I WILL CONTINUE TO SEARCH THE BUNCH...
LEARNING TO LEARN IS THE HARD PART.
BUT THE SEARCH BEGINS...
