Re: Need a giggle? Look here!
Marlys,
So sorry for the loss of Pepe. Only someone else who's lost a beloved pet can understand the hole it leaves in your life. I'm so glad your new pal Ollie is helping you heal. He sounds like quite a character...and one lucky pup to be living with you!
We recently adopted a 6 month old pup who was represented to us as a black lab mix. I think he's mixed with some variety of small horse! He is 8 months old now and weighs 72 pounds! But he's such a sweety. Truly a gentle giant.
And he and I share a love of books. I read them...he eats them! Anyone know how the "The Afghan" ends? He ate the top right corner of every page, then started ripping out and eating entire pages. The last 5 or 6 pages disappeared before I recognized the tearing sound and came running. He had laid it right on top of his knuckle bone, and his deer antler...and started "devouring literature"! Aaargh! I couldn't stay mad at those big eyes though. He was so proud of himself for finding such a cool "toy"...and I learned to put my books back on the shelf between readings!
As you can guess...he too is happily ensconced in his crate when we're not home to keep an eye on him. I think he views it as a great place to rest up for his next adventure!
Denise
