My Favorite "Furson"
"No matter how little money and how few possessions you own,
having a dog makes you rich."
Louis Sabin in All About Dogs As Pets
Happy 11th birthday to Sophie!
She is now a very mature 77-year-old furson.
Her fur is turning silver and her eyes are getting cloudy--
(just like mine).
But she can still chase the squirrels
(and I can still shop till I drop).
I thank God for her companionship,
her quiet understanding, and unconditional love.
Sophie's quote for today:
"I have many different looks
depending on the day and how I hold my ears."

Little Donkey & Eyelashes
Little donkey, little donkey,
On the dusty road,
Got to keep on plodding onwards
With your precious load.
Been a long time, little donkey,
Through the winter's night.
Don't give up now, little donkey,
Bethlehem's in sight.
Ring out those bells tonight,
Bethlehem, Bethlehem,
Follow that star tonight,
Bethlehem, Bethlehem,
Little donkey, little donkey,
Had a heavy day.
Little donkey, carry Mary
Safely on her way.
Do not falter little donkey, there's a star ahead.
It'll guide you, little donkey, to the cattle shed.
Little donkey, carry Mary
Safely on her way.
We sing this sweet carol when Ella plays with the beanie-style Nativity set ... she cuddles Baby Jesus and the animals. My new nickname for her is Ella Elizabeth Eyelashes. I like to give her fluttering eyelash (butterfly) kisses on her cheek.
She knows her whole name now, and calls each of us her middle name. So now we're Gramma Elizabeth, O'Pa Elizabeth and Aunt Bethany Elizabeth! So sweet.
