Memories from last July----**Pik number ONE!

I'm reminiscing about two sweet babies who rescued us last year!...

...My laptop is being weird, so I can only post ONE pik per post-----see second pik/ story in next post! 

Sweeet. precious Daphne.....she was with us for NINE months!! We WANTED to adopt her, but absolutely could NOT due

to Sophie's and her EXTREME Alpha issues.  Things got worse as the months went by to where they had

to be separated at ALL TIMES---when they ACCIDENTALLY got near eachother the last few times, they fought SO

horribly, but luckily, the worst inury was a cut on Sophie's sweet face....

....

!   Our  wonder-bull Board members said that eventually, they COULD HAVE

seriously injured/ even killed eachother!  She is now in a HAPPY, lovely home and her new Mommy lets me

"stalk" her on Facebook! hee hee!  We miss her A LOT....you can imagine, after fostering her for 9 months!  Ohhh,

we miss rubbing her tummmy and her sweet kisshessh!

**photo # 2....precious Murphy !!! July 4 of last year

Some of you remember Murphy...!!!  As soon as this precious fella  stepped into our house, we knew he was STAYING!!!  :-)

Himz was found wandering in the street, (it's a miracle he lived through the heat !!! Although, we don't know how LONG the

poor guy was outside wandering, BUT----he did have a lot of insect bites on his sweet ears.  :-(    He was also blind, and

heartworm positive, had a horrible cough, and was 10 years old.....SO sweet, and like anybully here, we fell in love with him IMMEDIATELY.....!!! 

Of course we knew he was sick AND ten, but even our very knowledgea-bull Rescue Board members thought he might live 6 months, even

a year.  Sadly, sweet Murphy died after only being with us NINE DAYS!   :-(      On Monday, I think that Hubby, Meaty, Sophie, Professor and I 

will decorate his little grave that's in our yard....his first (and only) holiday he spent with us!  :-(

forgot to say---my hubby was OBSESSED with

Murphy's very LARGE paws,...hee hee!  He kept pointing out how much chunkier Murphy's paws were than

Meaty or Sophie's, so it made ME obsessed, too!  LOL!  :-)   Now I notice PAW SIZE on ALL bulldogs, whereas I never

noticed before...LOL!  The photo doesn't actually do his paw size justice, though.   ....

Oh wait----I take back what I said about not noticing paws before----LOL!   If you look above at that pik of Sophie as

a puppy---ohhhh, her tiny wittle pawsh and those SHARP, but adora-bull claws!  GAH!!!  :-)

Aw, those are such bitter sweet memories for sure...

You guys are so lovely to take those precious babies...if even for such a short time as Murphy was there. He knew love, so much so! That had to be a blessing to his sweet old heart. 

Hugs to you guys, and Happy Fourth!

Many (( HUGS)) to you, Amy!!! I think of you

missing your precious Sophia quite often!!!  Did she like July 4th?  Or was she afraid?  We're sooo blessed

that Meaty and Sophie just get excited and bark, but not quivering or any other signs of horrible fear like many

of our dog owning friends talk about.  I just HATE that this weekend can be SO hard on animals!!  :-(

My Sophie girl never even batted an eye at noise...

She was unaffected by thunderstorms, fireworks, etc. She had no issues at all just snoozing right on through whatever noise was happening:-)

My Talley girl, she is a Catahoula, and she is totally horrified by thunder and fireworks. She hates guns, even just seeing one makes her run and hide. She has a sceurity balnket named William Wallace, who is a rather large Great Pyrenees, that she cuddles up into when she is frightened. 

Other than that, none of mine are affected by loud noises.
