<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Californian FB"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>First, the girls and I send Texas sized drool to all the families who
have lost their beloved babies. We are so sad to hear of their passing,
but we also have joy in our hearts for them, for we know that this life does
not end when our earthly bodies fade. Rather, we go on to our next
journey, our next adventure, and there we will love and be loved and be happy,
healthy and safe, for life truly does go on. (We nooz dis fur shuur
)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Californian FB"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Second, to Sally…of course I am no expert, but I think the reason
that some dogs seem to have issues with Clara and not with Rolph may have more
to do with Clara than the other dogs or anything else. She may exhibit a “vibe”
if you will, that dogs can sense when she comes around. Again, this is
theory, but my Diva is the same way, and she usually gets a similar response from
other dogs when we walk through the neighborhood or are around other dogs in
general. She is the alpha between her and Sophie, and she is the protector
of the house, the alarm that warns of strangers, the guardian of her momma and
2-legger siblings, etc., and I think she may bring some of that with her when
we’re outside of the house. Sophie is the laid back, care free,
happy-go-lucky girl who has never met a living thing she didn’t like, and
the same dogs that will become excited or aggressive toward Diva will happily
wag their tails or completely ignore Sophie, even if she’s right next to
Diva. Kinda the same way that some dogs will attack one person and not
another. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Californian FB"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Lastly to Bob the Dog: Diva and Sophie and our whole family are
THRILLED for you and your new little brudder Lenny. We think that the
absolute best way in the whole world to honor your beloved pet that has gone on
to the bridge is to help out another little furbaby who needs your home and
your love as much as you need their sweet life to remind you of the joys you
shared with all your furbabies before them. We are so glad you found each
other, and we know for sure that Benny had his paw in the whole thing!
Welcome Lenny!!! Snooters to you!!!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
