Mal ,'The Train Job'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
On a day of tears, some of them are for joy.
Beloved Hagrid, the dog I adore who was a saved by the grace of Facebook, has been handed off to his new people. My good friend S, drove Hagrid to Cheyenne, where his Minneapolis 'Dad' picked him up yesterday.
D, the new guy, brought Hagrid an apple. The very best gift. The pictures of him relishing it caused me to burst into tears.
I'm so grateful when people do the hard thing that is also the right thing.
I love that his name is Hagrid.
Dogs eat whole apples? I boggle. (But then Mom and Dad's last Scottie would pluck peppermints delicately from my dad's mouth and relish them. She also liked olives.)
Dogs eat whole apples?
Oh my yes. My guy will do anything for an apple.
The Hagrid photos aren't mine to post, but imagine a blissful "Oh, the ambrosial bouquet...it makes all of life make instant and contented sense" kind of look on a sweet doggy's face. He apparently carried the most cherished gift around for 15 minutes before giving in to his baser instincts and eating it.
D looks a little stunned...neither he, nor his wife, has ever had a dog before...and he'd just driven 4 days to collect Hagrid. But they are doing every thing right. It's a joy to see.
Heh. "Comfort me with apples..." indeed.
Oh, bonny, that is just wonderful.
Beloved Hagrid, the dog I adore who was a saved by the grace of Facebook, has been handed off to his new people. My good friend S, drove Hagrid to Cheyenne, where his Minneapolis 'Dad' picked him up yesterday.
This is making me happy. I'm so glad for Hagrid, and for the new doggy parents. Sounds like a match made, if not in heaven, at least in cyberspace.
Oh, lucky Hagrid! New people who really want him and bring him apples!
-t, I've said so elsewhere, but please know we are all thinking about you and will do anything we can for you.
I'm so happy to hear about Hagrid! Also very happy that Sean enjoyed his birthday party.
I just got back from the farmers' market with megan walker (awesome) and now have the makings for fresh grilled veggie skewers, grilled salmon with dill, and a fresh roasted beet salad. Dinner will be yum.
Pix, we went to the farmer's market today too. Potatoes, carrots, a rosemary plant, rhubarb chutney, strawberries, and chocolate covered sea salt caramels.
-t, I've said this elsewhere, but you are in my thoughts. I am so, so sorry.
