We are friends?

I would like to thank my friends/followers who make comments.  I really appreciate your opinions and input.

"Sam" and I are kind of talking again.  We have shared 2 phone calls and they were fun and full of laughter.  I still want to wait.  I do not  want to go over to his house and I don't think I could stand to see Jessie.  Jessie is an innocent, sweet bundle of love.  I still have HUGE anger over his care.  I also know that Jessie ADORES Sam and if I came in there and removed Jessie, he would die from heartbreak.
 




Tempie in 2008!  Well cared for and loved.

 This brings me back to a saying that my mother, Lois, used to say to me when I was a little girl.  I would cry and sob over all the animals in shelters, the Jews of the Holocaust, the starving children in Africa...My Mom would say, "Amy, you can't take care of the world.  You simply have to take care of your loved ones and those around you.  Do a good job and it will grow."  What's funny, I never really understood what she meant.  I thought she meant, just take care of your own...forget everyone else...etc...  Mom meant, you show others the lovely way to care for your animals and family and friends.  You love and treat others the way you want to be treated.  I get it now.  My Mom was a good teacher and an adorable and loving Mom.  xo


Now, Sarah and I are looking forward to welcoming a new baby girl into our family.  Her current name is Patches.  We are changing it to Peaches.  She definitely seems more like a Peaches.  Also, I know a young woman, named Patches, who is the sole owner of the name.  She is unique and special and no one else could carry her name.  She is the sister of one of my oldest and dearest friends/sister, Robin Boatright Swisher.  Patches is a gorgeous blond and I remember her as a little girl, walking around, totally cute and funny.  Now, she is a gorgeous woman.  Wow, life is wonderful.  Okay, I have rambled a bit.  Here is a picture of Peaches.  We will have her at our home in about a week.



Peaches!


We will care for Peaches and love her sooooo much.  We will tell her that she is loved everyday to make sure she knows it!  I love her so much already.  She is very much a lady and she kind of treats you with polite horror!  She allowed me to hold her and pet her, but she wanted back to Melissa.  Melissa is her current Mom.  Melissa cannot handle 2 dogs.  The other dog is Barry.  Let me assure you, Barry will be our dog, too.  Barry loves Peaches and Peaches loves Barry.  Melissa is a kind person and she treats the animals wonderfully, but she is what I would call..."a cat person who really, really really REALLY wants to be a dog person."  She loves to have a pet, but not give the care a dog needs.  Melissa needs to invest in a kitty. Yes, kitties require love and affection, food and water.  BUT, they also like to be left alone and don't require hours of catching ball, running around and taking walks. ha ha  I know we will get Barry sooner than later.  I just hope it is not too long of a wait.  I worry that Peaches will feel abandoned.  I suppose she will.  That is why Sarah and I have pledged to love her up so much she will feel she has found her true home with us.


Anyway, I love Jessie and I continue to send him love and health vibes.  I love Sam, but I am still unsure of where our friendship will go.  I just want Sam to be happy.




This beautiful and happy dog's name is Sanchez.  He reminds me of Jessie!
