Bundy 2008-2016

Bundy, our beloved bundle of bullmastiff joy, is no more.

He bounced into our lives with joy and happiness, laughter and fun - and gave us unconditional love and protection.

It was his time - and though our hearts were breaking we had to take the decision and help him to the Rainbow Bridge

Almost 8 years old, his old legs could hardly hold his big body up. By willpower and love he still managed to greet us with tail held high wagging, go out doing his business, eating and drinking.  But there was no bouncing, no running around, no hiking out...

Dear Bundy
You will live forever on in our hearts, and we will always remember you and cherish the memories.
All the soft cuddles, your gorgeous eyes, the silky soft ears, the huge paws, your loving personality, the fun we had, the way you made us feel safe.
Rest in peace big guy, until we meet again.


 "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened".

18 years


So, now I have no more kids - only grown up children.. Daughter just turned 18.
Son going on 24 this year.
Me ?
At a time I exclaimed to have my litter complete by the age of 30.. My beautiful daughter arrived just 2 months before my 30ieth birthday - so you do the math :)


She is politically engaged, a diligent student, devoted friend, compassionate, funny, loving..

She has all kinds of plans for her future - and I am certain she will achieve all her dreams!

winter

Why do I love Winter?
  • no bugs
  • no gardening
  • cold and dark out -> warm and cosy in
  • no shorts or bikinis
  • long sleeves and comfy clothes
  • sweet anticipation of coming springtime and sipping coffee in the sun


what ? self-contradiction ?  no no, just open-minded, to some extent  :)


and enjoying the season variations


and off course when its frozen and snowy out, the dog paws aren't  making nearly as much a mess inside - another benefit.




my snow shovel just broke the other day...  so I went inside to my hubs and resigned from my snow shoveling chores.  Until I get a new one, or the old one is fixed.
