While I'm (of course) still saddened by the loss of Bubba, I'm ready to get up, dust myself off and begin again. Yesterday Toby rolled in the grass, and playfully ran off in another direction when I called him.
Even though Toby still at times seems a bit withdrawn, I think he's ready too, that spark is back.
That is so great that Toby has come back. He is such a cutey pie. I see so much Roscoe in him. Love it. I guess this is what my Roscoe will look like once he is older. Is the white around the face a sign of aging? How old is Toby? He is gorgeous. Love reading when you blog about the animals. Whether it is good news or sad news I enjoy your post.
heart warming to see toby's upside down smile! and the puppy love that todd is giving him is so special to see. they do communicate! people who are with dogs closely all the time know full well about such communication. you did not need the sheba-carrie ann drama right now! although that kind of thing does take ones mind of other troubles. your blog is a roller coaster of life itself! love, tammy j
Hey Kim, I was wondering how Toby has been doing after the loss of his brother, so I am really glad to be reading this post. That's what we do don't we, we pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and start all over again...just a shame that you have had so much practice at this recently. Hope your first day back at work goes well. Sue x x
These photos make me SMILE wide! So glad to see Toby rolling his back on the grass - know he must be making you smile too! Hugs xoxoxo Sammie, Avalon and mom
Thats awesome to see Toby having fun with Todd! We just got major snow dumped on us and Miggy loves it, had a great day photographing her playing in the snow with her rope ! Have a good day !
Sparkle! ... a good start to the New Year! Wishing you and all your family a wonderful New Year full of health, happiness, and lots of fun... and some wealth would be neat too.
I don't know how you do it. What a special person you are to be able to take in older dogs and care for them until they pass this life. God gives us each a gift and this is yours. God bless you.
Oh Kim, these photos are great. Our pups are so resilient and wonderful teachers...while I am sure Toby is missing his Bubba, he continues to more forward and he will guide you to peace (oh course Todd will help) Give all those pups a big hug for me.
What an uplifting sight! I can't help thinking that little Todd has been a big help to Toby and to you all. We are constantly reminded of the need to take a lesson from our dogs.
Hi Kim I agree with KB- Toby is leading the way- and is reaching out for you to join him. And Todd's energy and smile is just what we all need. We have been thinking of you. Mother Earth is twirling in circles and keeps throwing new curves at us! A few days ago it was 28- today wa 55, wind and now rain- I wonder about tomorrow. We think of you all the time- take time to heal. love tweedles
Kim, Was so sorry to read about Bubba. Our sympathy to you and your family. We are glad that Toby is perking up now. The photos are lovely. Smooches from pooches, BabyRD & Hootie and XX-Cassie
So sorry to read about Bubba, but what a wonderful life you gave him. And now you are surrounded by joyful warmth and furry family--can't get much better healing than that. Peace and joy in the New Year.
That is so great that Toby has come back. He is such a cutey pie. I see so much Roscoe in him. Love it. I guess this is what my Roscoe will look like once he is older.
