Halling Go To Alaska

June 13 An old time band at a local civil-war time frame reenactment. June 14 (slacker) June 15 Sweet Pea wearing my sunglasses and making goofy faces. June 16 My puppy (insert sad face).   She was eating a carrot, one of her favorite treats.  June 17 Took the girls on a hike in the hills behind our house.  Sass was our lizard hunter.  I never saw one first.  This was just one of them.   June 18 Bags packed and ready to go! June 19 Safety briefing on the way to Manchester.

Grace.  When we picked her up she was 18 pounds.  She smelled of puppy.  One month after she took over our home, T went on a 6-week TDY.  She was lonely.  Our rottie didn't having mothering instincts.  I allowed the 20-pound baby to sleep on the bed.  Oops.  We didn't buy her her own bed until she was 5.   This sweet puppy was a great "starter kid".  We spent more on the vet in her first year of life than we did on SmartyPant's first year.  It's good we love our pets! Over the years she grew and loved our girls.  She has been a fixture...sometimes a little neglected due to the crazy of life.  But she's my baby.  Always will be.   RIP Gracie dog.  You'll be missed. Say hi to Jazz, Emma, and Sammy after you cross the Rainbow Bridge.
