Can never thank you all enough.....grief is a terrible thing that must be endured to be able to cope. And boy, do we all know grief and endurance, right?
Surprise for me! I was "gifted" a most beautiful puppy by my unbelievably kind sister-in-law just one week after losing my beloved girl. SIL knew how hard I took it and within a week, we have a new family member. Knows we're having $$ problems and said, "there is no price you can put on real love so consider it for free". Classy, huh?
IT'S A BOY!!! and I'm in love.
His name is Mr. Darcy and he's a Bernese Mountain Dog..well, baby. So sweet and smart. Hubby is taking care of the heavy lifting as usual and we're having the time of our lives keeping up with the pup.
I have crashed often, but nice to wake up and have something ...someone to love and care for ....
I would post a pic, but don't know how...he's so cute!

Wow!! How kind of your SIL!! She sounds like my brother's wife.
These are really big dogs, right? I think a friend of mine had one of these many years ago.
I'm glad you are "in love!"
You can go to http://photobucket.com/ and read the instructions there to bring a photo link here. It's not that hard to do.

O....M....G.
Mr. Darcy. I am losing it, that's so cute. And literary.
They are worth all the messes and mischief. When our Boxer was a pup last year, DH would plunk him on the bed with me in the morning.
"Here's a little BeBop." (His name is Bronson.)
I would get licked and stompled awake.
Have fun! What an amazing gift from SIL. So thoughtful.

How wonderful for you. We have a 8 year old Bernese named Molly and she is the best dog!! They are such gentle giants and great companions.
Have fun with your new doggie Posted by dogmom2 (Member # 23822) on :

So happy for you! When my springer spaniel was a puppy she had more energy in one minute than I did a whole lifetime! She kept me moving cause I think I would have not got out of bed.
Now she is almost four and my best friend. I hate going to dr appts and leaving her. I thought about putting a little vest on her so she looked like a seeing eye dog. I could take her with me. But figured she would want everyone to pet her and lick everyone and we would get kicked out. Just kidding, she wiggles so much I couldn't even get the vest on!
Enjoy your four legs of pure love and joy!
