This and That ...

Yesterday was my god-doggie, Sadie's, 10th-year birthday/anniversary. A special occasion for a very special basset hound! Sadie's mommy is my dear friend, Judy (my trusty cat sitter and the gal who rescued my sweet Haley many years ago before we welcomed her into our family). This is a pic I took of her holding Haley the night she brought her to us in October of 2006. Haley was only seven months old then.The photo frame is one she gave me for my birthday a couple of months later to place a pic of Haley in. I have kept this pic of the two ever since ...

Miss Sadie is one of Judy's rescue dogs whom she took into her home as a senior basset hound. A couple of years ago, Judy was devastated after Sadie was diagnosed with cancer in her eye. After many visits to veterinary specialists, (she was originally misdiagnosed by her former vet as having an eye infection) and a couple of surgeries later, she thankfully beat the cancer and they were able to stop it from spreading as well. These pics were taken by Judy of Sadie's 10-year birthday/anniversary celebration! I just love this dog so much!

Judy also works with me and today she surprised me with this lovely mermaid statue for my birthday last week ...

And finally, Haley's beautiful urn which I ordered a couple of days ago from "Memorial Urns" came in the mail this afternoon, It is engraved, "Haley Lynn. Forever loved, my pretty girl" ...
