*** everyone has a teddy bear right? ***

for herbie it started from birth..

he snuggled a little squirrel

this little fluffy squirrel came along with him
the day i brought him home..
as my friend & breeder joanne said
"it's his transitional toy "
you may ask
does he still have it??
why yes he does!! but today as i type this ..
it is tucked away is herbies secret spot for special furry fellows
:)

he has several buddies
a crazy gorilla named

steve

2 very sing-songy calliope sounding bunny & monkey

named

jack & joe

a squeaky polar bear..a teddy bear with one leg

also
a giant honking strawberry named dewberry!
& that's just to name a few!

most of his buddies are a mess..
he sneaks them outside..they have seen rain snow you name it
but the love ..
all
the unconditional love & comfort
they provide him
&
he them
is
endless


i hope you & your furry friends
have found that unconditional love!

*** i'll drive ***

it's that time of year again..
windows down..
music high..
&
herbie & ruby
wishing for the front seat ..
open windows..
wind in their faces..
dog heaven
i can finally trust herbie..
sorta..
to control himself in the front seat..
i do have a doggie car divider
since past seasons he would
switch gears..turn on wipers..lights..
switch radio station ..
&
of course dig through my garbage!
ugh
all off course when he was left for 2 seconds alone in the car!!
i think he is to big now..
he most often in sitting with his butt on passenger seat front paws on the
floor
:)
super cute!
but poor miss ruby wants shot gun too so
more often than not it is a treat..
an outing alone with me ..
or
they both sit in back so there is no whiners!!
:)
my brother has a new dog..
little macaroni
mac for short
named by little ella.. she is 5 1/2
have to add that half or she would
be disappointed in me
you remember how important that half was when you were 5!
well we visited mac the other day..
he had no idea how to play with a big furry herbie
the only thing he could sorta grip was
herbies legs!!
mac is a black lab mix...
takes off like a rocket!!
here is mr mac

of course he is enjoying spring...
he can take off faster in the grass than the snow!!

i also added another one of my favorite trees..
the gumdrop tree ..
i see it in my dreams.. we picnic here.. on the hill..
day or night
it's magical
