Jessie and Darla

When we had to find a new home for the dog we had for 3 days in the summer, Jessie kept saying she wanted Memphis. God knew what Jessie wanted and two weeks ago provided us with a dog that looks just like Memphis, except she's a she and she's about 30 pounds lighter than he was.

Her name is Darla and she will be 3 years old on January 20, 2017. Jessie loves her and likes playing with her, something she couldn't do with Memphis because he was trained NOT to play. She's even let Darla in her space in the family room by the "fireplace". No one goes in her space, nor do we touch her cards. Darla hasn't been that careful with the cards, yet Jessie hasn't screamed like she would have if I made the mess.

Darla will be going to "school" in a week or so. After the initial regular dog training, we will see if she can be certified as a therapy dog for Jess.

The picture below was Memphis. They could be related, don't you think?












Jessie has her Memphis back! Sort of. Wasn't God gracious to give Jessie a dog that she wanted! We are blessed.

Happy Thanksgiving

It's been way too long since I've blogged. I'm honored that many of you have sent me notes or told me that you miss my blogs. I've actually missed making them.

My goal was to go back and recap each day since I last blogged, mostly because I have my blogs put in to books every 4 months. I may still do a small version of that in the coming days.

We 3 are well. Today we were invited to Chris' house for dinner with her family, but I felt that there would be too many people for Jessie with Chris' entire family there.

Doreen then invited us, and we spent the afternoon with them. There were just the 5 of them and 3 of us.

Jessie did really well. She spent all her time in the back bedrooms with Shiloh on their iPads. I also found Shiloh reading to Jessie from her books.

We ate a delicious dinner, played Tenzi, ate dessert then watched tv for a bit before we left around 5.

I hope that you had a blessed day with friends or family. I hope that your food was plentiful and what ever you did made lots of good memories.

Love,
Nancy
