Very nice. It does take a while to get those things made.

[disneydream06]

When I originally ordered it, they made it sound like they probably would get to it until almost Summer this year, but apparently their backlog thinned out. LOL.......

[disneydream06]

Thank you. :)

Your dad certainly lived a long life.

The purple heart is a medal for having been wounded in action iirc?

[disneydream06]

He was so proud of one of his doctors telling him he should live to be 100.
It was sad that he missed it be a couple of years. :(

You are correct about the Purple Heart. :)

[ravena_kade]

Very nice

[disneydream06]

Thank you.
I like that it's different from everything else in our cemetery.
Different shape. Different color. :)

What beautiful tributes Jon. You did so great choosing that head stone. Did it replace one your mom had?

And the sweet Maggie, so cute. How old is she now?

[disneydream06]

Mom was cremated and not buried until dad passed, and they were buried together. :)

Maggie turned 10 in January.
She's definitely slowing down. :(

[kaishin108]

Oh, I get it now.

Zilly is slowing down too, she will be 11 this summer.
Sometimes when Gene asks her to go for a walk, she looks over at me like, "how far is he going to make me go?" It is probably my imagination but I take her for shorter walks, she likes me better, ha ha hah!!

[disneydream06]

I think Maggie slows down even more on purpose when she realizes we are heading back home. LOL.....

[kaishin108]

Oh! She loves her walks, that is a good sign. Zilly is a bit lazy, lol.

[disneydream06]

Well, I am hoping it's that and not that she is that worn out from going out. :o

If I am honest I am reaching that point where I am worried that I will come home and find her passed. :(

[kaishin108]

Oh dear, that would be sad to come home to that. :(

[disneydream06]

I try not to think about it, but the thought is there. :(

[kaishin108]

I hate it when sad thoughts or dread like that creep in.
We better change the subject. LOL :D

Hugs, helen

[disneydream06]

Today has been Wet Doggie Day. Blah........

[kaishin108]

Eww, wet doggy days are the pits. I hope tomorrow is better.
Fingers crossed.
Hugs, helen

[disneydream06]

It's been a couple of Wet Doggie Days, and more in the forecast. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kaishin108]

So much rain, ugh. Poor Maggie and you. :(

Hugs, helen

[disneydream06]

Not so much Poor Maggie, because she really doesn't care much what kind of weather we have. LOL.....

[kaishin108]

Really! Zilly does not like to go out in wind, rain or snow. My little princess, LOL!

[disneydream06]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maggie LOVES the snow, and doesn't really seem too bothered by much of anything else.

[kaishin108]

What a brave girl she is! I get quite a few days off from walking Zilly, ha hah.

[disneydream06]

Wanna trade? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kaishin108]

Still thinking about that, ;-)

[disneydream06]

Waits patiently. :p

[kaishin108]

LOL!!!
