WE HAD A GOOD RUN… (10/22/09 to 5/31/24) DROVER

What is there to say about the best dog that ever was?   My heart is broken!  I have given some thought to this fine dog… and how, why he was mine from the time he and I laid eyes on each other! He was a soft wiggly bundle of furry fun! With the prettiest …

Country Music…

I was listening to the birds this evening just before dark…to the frogs…the crickets chirping…the sheep bells tingling softly in the sweet warm night air…a dog in the distance barking…every once in a while a stronger wind blows…I can hear the cows in the distance mooing, and the sheep calling to each other good night…SIGH… …
