I know first hand how much it helps an aching heart. Things didn't work out with LuLu. It was so hard to walk away from her, but I know she is in good hands at the rescue. She needs the right family and we weren't the ones for her. </span></div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 19px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><span><br></span></div><div style="background-color: transparent;"><span><span><span style="font-size: 19px;">On a brighter note, we've been approved for one of the puppies in the rescue in Bakersfield. Her name will be Heidi Josephine, or Heidi-Jo. There are three to adopt. We will happy with any of them, so we
are waiting to see which one will join our family.</span></span></span></div><div style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 19px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal;"><span><span><span style="font-size: 19px;"><br></span></span></span></div><div style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 19px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal;"><span><span><span style="font-size: 19px;">It's been eight years since we've had a puppy in the house.

It's getting a little easier each day, but I still miss her so much. I know Heidi will help fill the hole that's in my heart, the same way Ophelia helped when we had to send my Winston to the Bridge ten years ago. </span></span></span></div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"></div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Barbara M Hodges<br>http://barbaramhodges.com<br><br style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">The Blue Flame</span><br><b><font size="4">Five books from Long and Short Reviews. </font></b></div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
