My Abiding Memory

my grandkids’ laughter,

kindnesses bestowed on me,

and my dog’s sweet eyes. . . 

fine strands in tapestries of

my abiding memory

Matthew Anish Date: 1/7/2016 12:59:00 PM I like dogs but have never owned one. I di have cat named Bilbo for many years. Also my sisters had cats named Misty and Cloudy for many years. There is a cat named Smoky on the floor of my apartment and a dog named Oreo. Memory - something to consider. Login to Reply

Sara Kendrick Date: 1/7/2016 11:32:00 AM Ahh!! How sweet..My Hairy is like your first dog but he is a Long Wire-Haired Chihuahua and does not look as good..I am not sure what happened to Hairy so don't know about his nutrition,etc..I was hoping that he would get to looking better but it is not happening...Maybe age and damage from neglect has made him what he is..Thanks for stopping by..Sara Login to Reply
