On the twelfth day…

December 24, 2009 by Dr. V

Lisa asked to have the 12th day- and when I saw her contribution I was so glad she did. Thank you, and I hope this first Christmas without Bailey is gentle on you.

On the twelfth day of Petmas, my puppy gave to me:

12 Years of True Love

12 drummers

    Oh, gosh, that got the waterworks going. *hugs* to Lisa, that was a beautiful and perfect way to end this. Bailey was a beautiful dog.

    oh, thank you so much for the 12 Days of Petmas! It brought a smile and a laugh to my day and it was so touching to see how we are all lucky enough to have (had) such wonderful companions in our life. Thanks again (and now the in-laws beagle is baying along with the song… 🙂

    Thanks for the kind thoughts. I am feeling very sad but also very grateful to have had her in my life for over 12 years. Hugs to you and your families and may you have a joyous new year!

    And Dr V, thanks again for this opportunity to show our love for our fur babies. You’re the best!
