Anyone there? - for Ralph and anyone else interested - OT

[Guest guest]

Hi again, Ralph!

 

So sorry - I should have remembered that Midas was a yellow Lab. smile. He will

mean the

world to you of course - these dogs have a wonderful sense of love and duty that

goes

beyond just training. Do you have a photo of Midas for us??? If you do, please

send it to

me and not to the group, because the group email is set not to receive

attachments

including photos. My email address is moorcroftblue and I could then

put the

photo on our group website showing Midas as an honored honorary member. smile.

Or is

that a bit of a trick for you to do - I don't know what kind of software you

use. sorry.

smile.

 

In any case, lovely to hear from you and to hear about your gardening. Somehow I

never

got into that. My husband and I have always lived in apartments from choice and

right now

we are in the middle of a smallish city of just under half a million people. Our

dogs - who

are very very precious to us for similar reasons (which I'll tell you about) -

love meeting all

the people and dogs on their walks. Our blueberries come from the farmers'

market in

town.

 

About our dogs: my younger beagle lets my husband know about things that he

cannot

hear even with his hearing aids in place. Even though she lost her sight

suddenly in March

(from Sudden Acquired Retinal Degeneration, which is total and incurable but

luckily not

painful) she still feels her job is important, as it definitely is. She was not

trained for this -

she just picked up that it was something she needed to do, and we are amazed at

how

clever she is at it! Our older beagle guides our younger beagle when outdoors on

their

leashes. She's also her mama's girl! smile.

 

Okay, enough dog talk. smile. Lots of lovely pats for Midas and love to you.

 

Love, Pat

 

 

> Pat Only you would know the love and respect that I have for this wonderful

Yellow Lab.

Pat, the feeling that you get when he does something to prevent you from getting

a

terrible injury or even taking you around maybe a stick lying across the

sidewalk, they are

just amazing.

> I started gardening after I was blinded and I really enjoy it, to the point of

being kind of

a bore, smile. I have been eating blueberries, dried and frozen every morning.

I really like

pumpkin seeds and dried blueberries as a great snack.
