Things are quiet for the moment. I'm not sure how long it will last. We have a new addition to the family. She has dark brown eyes, soft floppy ears, long legs that were meant for speed and an attitude that is all Beagle. She is nothing like our last Beagle but she is all that and more. She is such a sweetheart and boy, does she have Hubby wrapped around her little paw. She had him at hello. I must say she had me well before that. Its a weird story as to how she came to be but it is sufficient to say, she needed us and we definitely needed her.
Two days after our girl arrived, we received news that my husband's brother had been killed in an accident driving home from work. We had to head North for the funeral and the drive felt longer than usual. We stayed in a lovely hotel which gave us much needed respit. We had our little girl with us as we couldn't leave her behind as she was just beginning to bond with us. (According to Hubby) She was a ray of light in a very dark spot. She made Hubby laugh and smile where I was unable to. She was an absolute angel during the funeral service and at the open house later on. It was rough going up there but now that we are home the mourning, grieving and healing begins. But at least our little girl gave Hubby a head start.
Uh oh...its starting to wake up. This means I'll spend the next two hours rescuing the old boys from the young pup. I think the Airedale is waiting until she grows up to decide whether or not he will like her. Yeah time to go, she is staring at me expectantly with a stuffy hanging from her mouth.
Yeah...she definitely fits.
