Puppy Love: Gracie, My Newest Best Friend!

I lost my best friends Lizzie (12) in June, 2010 and Dickens (11) in August 2010. We had our greyhounds for 8 years. Then in December 2010, totally a 6 month period of time, I lost Lucy (15) our pit mix. We had her for 12 years. I was devastated, but, instead of feeling sorry for myself, I chose to quickly adopt a 5 month old mini golden doodle, Gracie, flown to Philadelphia on January 15, 2011 from Ohio.. She has since graced my life!

Music: The Puppy Song by: Harry Nilsson. The words are very meaningful for me.

Hello, dear sweet friend! First of all, how are you? I hope all is well! Yes, I lost my husband 2 years ago and our three dogs a year after he passed in only a 6 month period of time. I was devastated! I could not bear to be without a sweet dog to love, so, rather impulsuvely. adopted Gracie! She is the sweetest little girl, perfect for me. I am training her to be certified as a therapy dog and she really is MY therapy dog!

Thank you, my long time friend, for thinking of me.

Thanks, Liz! I am still working with Gracie toward getting certified as a therapy dog. Petsmart cancelled their advanced classes and we now will be attending classes elsewhere starting September 12th! . After some behavior tweaking (she jumps up on people) & work off leash, she'll be tested! I'll keep ytou updated. What's new with you? Any vacations? I also had my son, daughter-in-law and three grandkids from Ireland here most of the summer. I loved it, but the summer flew by!

@enjoythevoyage I'm so sorry too to hear of the loss of your husband. I do find our furry friends are such a comfort, and I'm so glad you and Gracie found each other. I haven't been around yt for a while, decided I'd better take my vids off coz of copyright over music.......but came back to see if I could promote Helen's(my son's girlfriend) video - I've put it on my bulletin board thinking it would go our to all my contacts here, but don't think it has. Lovely to be in touch again x
