Not every dog shows such solid, deep and true devotion. In the same way , not every dog's owner loves them enough to sacrifice and devote as much of their time, love and money for vet bills and sausage treats, etc. as you do for Winnie and your other pets.
In your April 19, 2015 "Liv and Winnie" post when Winnie surprised you by merrily playing with little Liv you said she must have known and loved children in her past.
I think Winnie loves you more than she would any other human because of the childlike devotion to, glee in, and enjoyment you display towards her,and really, of so much in life, John. I hope this Christmas day has many moments as sweet for you as that photo is for we readers to see.-Mary
True love. Winnie is gorgeous. All the very best to you and the fur babies. May 2019 bring you all the happiness you deserve. Your a good man John Gray. X
True tender love and deep devotion. I love Bulldogs and I especially love Winnie. Recently I told a man who was walking his Bulldog "your dog makes me smile." The man agreed of course.
A dog’s love is forever! You can just see it in her expression! Merry Christmas to you and to all your furry babies, and blessings, peace, health and happiness throughout the new year.
Merry Christmas! However happily content or painfully difficult or easy or hard work it might have been this first time on your own in such a long time, you made it through. It's clear so many love you. I hope that helped.
Nadolig LLawen John, as one seasoned welsh NHS er to another I send you love and hugs across the miles. As I said in my Albert card letter to you earlier this year...Yn dydd ar a tro...from the menagerie in scotland...llawer o gariad Suzanne.xxx
This is officially my Morning photo ... it makes me smile and reminds me of how dogs love us .. it sort of makes me want a puppy .. Happy New Year -- as I have learned, as bad as things seem, they do get better. Nothing stays the same, even good stuff .. we just have to adjust and be strong ... even better things can come along. Happy New Year .
Beautiful! You should have that as your Christmas card. x
ReplyDeleteI may use it next year.. I only took it this morning
