Fate is our wild child, she is always tearing off in one direction or another, zooming through the woods with Maria, racing around the sheep, running to the door in the hope of getting out to work.
Fate is always busy. But sometimes, I think, she needs to be a puppy again, she needs some loving, and when that happens, she climbs up on the footstool, and then up onto my chair, and then she collapses into my arms and waits for a belly rub and some scratching.
She just melts into me and sighs and closes her eyes. I tell her she is really too big for this now, but she manages to squiggle in and get comfortable.
This reverie, lovingly captured by Maia, lasts for about five to ten minutes, and then the Hellion emerges, she takes my arm in her mouth and wants to wrestle.
That is fun, but holding her in my lap is just sweet. Sometimes, she just needs some loving. Fate is amazing dog, beautiful and sweet and full of life.
Just to let you know that my thoughts and prayers are with you
Jon and Maria,
Just wanted to let you know that I wish you all the best with Red, and that he gets better soon. And for others, I apologize for their insensitivity in telling you what to do. God Bless you and Red, and that he gets better, and you all can get some well deserved rest! Can’t wait to see information on the Mansion Karaoke. I have been waiting to see that for some time!
