I wonder what Roger and the girls will make of the new bulldog? I suspect Mary will just take it in her stride - been there, done that! Oh, yes, Moon River. A beautiful song. xx
The perfect song! On the Norfolk Broads we used to see an upmarket cruiser called Moon River. The tender was named Two Drifters. Still think that was inspired from a boat owner with a soul. Ooh, a new bulldog! You must be feeling relived at the job news and busy looking forward. (There are a few in rescue not too far from you....) Good luck!
You old softy John, a bulldog will make the cottage home again, especially after the scare of a valuation and the gut churning worry over your job - go for it!! Moon River and Moonlight & Roses were the favourite songs of my mother. Jan in Castle Gresley
I mentioned your job news in an online friend group, without revealing your details, and everyone sends love and good wishes, especially a couple of retired hospice nurses in the group.
OMG, if you have 5 pets how much will the Vet bills be. My one has cost me over $2000. In the last month for annual check up vaccinations tests and one scare. On top of that grooming every 6 weeks is about $75. And don’t get me started on her special diet because of food allergies. But we all would welcome you adopting another Bully. We know you love the breed. Gigi
You have a lot in common with my Mother. Moon River was her favorite song, sung by Andy Williams. I miss her so and I will never hear Moon River without thinking of her.
I recall the first time I ever heard 'Moon River' - 1961 on telly sung by the then unknown Danny Williams (Not Andy!), whose version took it to the British Number 1. Even on first hearing it was a song (by Mercer/Mancini) that made an immediate and profound impression on so many. The next day on going to the fish & chip shop there they were, customers and servers all talking about it. Pity that Audrey Hepburn's weak singing film voice didn't go anywhere near doing it justice.
Can't wait to see the new doggie.Even if it's not 'handsome', as so many of that breed tend not to be, it's already won me over.
I liked the ending of Just Like That. I felt that after it didn't work out with Aiden it was right that Carrie should be on her own and happy with her life and her dance at the end was perfect, so Carrie. Interesting times ahead with a new bulldog. I have just added two new chickens to my flock and it's gone really well.
Poor Mary and Roger. Why can't you be satisfied and happy with what you've got? There always has to be something else with you, I don't think you've got over your marriage breaking up and constantly seek something else to fill that gap.
Here we go again, having to try to drop some poison onto a positive and happy time (of which there are few enough to just enjoy for their own sake. And should be not only allowed but encouraged for that alone) You clearly know nothing about domestic animals, and how they thrive with companionship in their home, nor how bull breeds are too often bypassed or ignored by potential owners. I suggest you seek out Asher House and Pit Bulls And Parolees and try and educate yourself out of such sad ignorance and let your soul learn some positivity.
I hadn't yet seen the ending of And Just Like That but knew what it was. I will miss Sarah Jessica Parker. What a great character she has been. After all these years she remains fascinating. A new bulldog, eh? Yes. Perfect.
Oh! A new bulldog!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JOY!
ReplyDeleteMoon River is one of my favorite songs.
Hugs!
Babs mine too

Tears and laughter from me today. Beautifully sung. And what a put down line !
ReplyDeleteA new bulldog is a wonderful idea. They seem to bring so much happiness to their new family.

DeleteA new bulldog. How exciting.
ReplyDeleteI love that you’re ready to open your heart and home to another bulldog xx
