A Sad Reminder . .

My niece just posted that today was their 8th anniversary.  I was pretty surprised.  It also reminded me that 8 years ago, we buried our little rat terror (terrier) .  We had gone up for the wedding and he got out of the Maskey's fence for the second time.  Stephen found him in our yard and asked me what I wanted him to do.  I had him take him back over to their place so he wouldn't be alone.  So dumb of me.  If Pokey was that determined to go home, I should have known he would manage to escape again.  That time he got hit.

I still miss the little guy.  He was so fun, as most rat terriers are.  Of course, he would be at least 14 years old now and if he were still alive, he would probably be as lively as the current two critters are . . . the ones that are sound asleep next to me right now.  Big morning outside since about 6:00 . . . poor little girls, all tuckered out from protecting us from the attack rabbit and lizards.

Time to go stain and seal more of that old trellis.  Boy, what a drag and mess.

Rob sure has missed Pokey! And that night was so sad. :(

But he is forming a bond with our new puppy. And though she's not fully house trained yet, her tummy isn't sick anymore and we are doing a bit better. Shes a fun little addition to the family.
