Good Bye to Obie Zinn

This is my Grandchildren's pet dog, Obie. My Son and Daughter-in-law saved Obie when he was about a year old. He had been abused and needed special love. He was well loved and my grandchildren and Obie were inseperable. They loved Obie. Obie passed away due to illness and when I spoke with my grandkids and my son, none of them had ever heard of RAINBOW BRIDGE.......So, for those of you who have not heard of this poem, please read below:
Just this side of heaven is a place called RainbowBridge.spo

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to RainbowBridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross RainbowBridge together....

Blustery Morning


Abbie and I didn't sleep well last night. We were up most of the night. She went out at 4AM and I was still awake. This darn insomnia is a pain in he neck. So, when we were going for a walk it was a little blustery and cold. Abbie wore her mama's scarf to keep her neck warm (of course she didn't really, but she is just so darned cute dressing her up). She probably can't wait to see me leave so I will quit with the getups. But acts like she doesn't mind and there is always a cookie in it for her so she just waits.
We have been cleaning curio cabinets and I cleaned the bar yesterday. We will do a little more cleaning today getting ready for her mama and daddy coming home tomorrow. Abbie fine is doing fine and no mishaps of any kind. Just the way we like it!!!!! Happy Friday!

Happy Happy Girl.....


Abbie loved being outside today. She was scratching her back on the lawn. I was trying to get her to lay flat on her back so I could take a pic of her in a different way. We are running out of ideas. Guess I will have to go back to dressing her up! Lets see...this is July and I missed the fourth.....not much coming up in August, so I guess we will just have to get creative. She LOVES it when I dress her up. (yeah, right). She has been the perfect girl and I am really looking forward to spending a LOT of time with her in October when her mommy and daddy celebrate their Anniversary on a cruise! I think its number 35! I couldn't stand my husband for 35 minutes so that is relly saying something. Some people are meant to be and when you find the one.......you are a very lucky person. My luck......I will find the one when I'm 99, he will be rich and I will die the next day! I think I will just stick to my fur friends...they don't talk back! Anyway, I forgot its all about Abbie and not me.......She is doing great! Love her

SUPERSTAR!!!!

I have been with Abbie since Saturday. She is so cute in her little puppy cut and she seems to have a little extra perk in her step. It has been kind of gloomy but it is beautiful here today. I brought her some all natural, no additive bones for her to chew and she loves them. (From Mud Bay). She has gone for a ride with me the last two mornings as I have had errands to run. She loves to ride in my back seat but I think she thinks she is getting french fries because we usually go to McDonalds. But since I brought her bones and she is 'watching her weight', we opted to pass McDonald's. Well....maybe SHE didn't opt, but I did. We visited with the mini Schnauzers next door this morning as we saw them on our way back in. We are going for a walk this afternoon as she seems to be walking ok although she is having a little trouble with the stairs. I will keep an eye on her and if she gets too tired we will turn around. She is great as always!!!!! Oh....and she sends her love to her family at Fire Island!!

Back in business


Well, I am back from my little vacation and it is time to get back to work. I have Abbie tomorrow and I can't wait to see her. During my vacation we watched a baby bird fall from its nest and watched the mother feed it until the baby could test its wings and fly off with its mama. It was a three day ordeal and I was so nervous that baby was not going to make it. It was 109 outside and all I could think of was it could get no water. But, I am sure the mama fed it water.
We visited the Tram in Palm Springs. I was amazed by the squirrels and the variety of species there were. They had no fear of people so it was obvious they were fed well. It was a great vacation in a beautiful place and I thank my lucky stars for my generous clients so that I may allow myself a vacation with my family on occasion.
