Time4ANap Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) One year ago today Petunia came to visit us while her Foster Mom "went to a meeting" (yeah, right...) She was here less than an hour when I told DW to "just write the check." This little old lady girl pulled both of us out of the funk of losing Rocket months earlier. We weren't ready for another dog. Petunia thought otherwise. Happy one year Gotcha Day to our bossy, foot-stomping, whining, talking broodie. Edited January 24, 2020 by Time4ANap typo Quote Camp Broodie.

Indeed. Broodies know best. We don't know a lot about her other than she came from one of the farms where the owners are either retiring or cutting back the number of hounds on the farm. She had 21 pups that got registered and we don't know how many others she may have had that weren't registered. We're pretty sure that she and Kate were on the same farm together even though they came in at different times. One of her pups, MW's T-Rex has been quite the racer for the last year or so.

Time4ANap Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 1 hour ago, Houndtime said: What a fast year!! Beautiful girlie. And we still can't get her to wear a coat. You'd think we were trying to murder her..... For those who don't know - Petunia received one of Miss Irene's house coats as a welcome present from a wonderful person here on GT. We have never been able to get it on her without a fight and having her run far away from us. She is just KNOT a fashionista. We couldn't even get a picture of it on her for Irene's website. Kate now wears the coat when it gets chilly here. The same thing happened when we tried a Thunder Coat on her during a bad storm. She and Kate are both very Thunderphobic. Makes for an interesting time during long storms. Quote Camp Broodie. The current home of Mark Kay Mark Jack and Gracie Kiowa Safe Joan.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
