Happy Thanksgiving!

Not everyone knows that people who have blogs are actually members of a community.  There are those who blog about a particular dog breed, those that blog about a particular dog sport, those who blog about cats, those who blog about rescue, and the list goes on.  Our community is called "Blogville," and the members support each other, help each other, and we share a passion for writing and for our pets.  I'm thankful to be a part of Blogville, and for all the friends we have made over the years.

Abby, enjoying Thanksgiving at my sister's house today.

As many of you know from our recent posts, our Abby has been struggling.  She recently turned 12, and the veterinarians are doing everything they can to help her.  But she was not having a good week, and we had made the decision that it was time to let her go.  The arrangements were all made, her veterinarian was going to come to our house this evening, and then yesterday she rallied once again.  While she isn't back to full mobility, she is once again walking and seems more like her old self.  So we are deeply thankful for more time with our special girl.  Every day is a gift.  Thank you all for all the kind comments, thoughts and prayers.  Your words mean so much to us, and the support is appreciated.

  5. We lost our Little Bit a little over three years ago. She was almost 13. We loved her so and would give most anything to have another day with her. Enjoy your time with your baby. I so get this.

    Have a blessed weekend. ♥

  9. I've so enjoyed our blogging friendship, and have learned from you, laughed and cried as well. As you know, I love Collie's and have grown to love the breed more because of you.

    I'm grateful that your beautiful girl has rallied and you are enjoying more treasured days of grace with her. I'm sending prayers that they will continue.
