Nineteen Years

 Friday was our 19th Blogaversary!   It all started with Maggie and then Mitch came along and then Molly and we all got our chance to blog.   Mom lived with Mackie for almost a year and then Molly and mom moved to their apartment with the fenced in yard.   They saw Mackie a lot when they lived there and there were overnighters and of course, mom continued to groom him for a few years after that.  

Mackie loved his GoDog chartreuse ball.

Maggie loved Mr Carrot and Mitch loved his Macintosh apples and Molly adored her tennis balls♥    The needle feltings were all made by the late Carol Usher.   Mom says that if she was still here on Earth, there would be needle feltings of me too.   She was a very talented and creative person and she is still missed by so many to this day.   

The Airedales have all passed on and mom misses them all but Molly most of all as the girls had each other's backs when they moved away from the only home that Molly ever knew.  

And now it's my turn to carry on and mom says that so far, I've done a great job!

The best part about blogging is all of the friends that we've met along the way and it's been a LOT and for that, we are forever grateful.  

Love ya lots♥
Duke

  9. I remember each and every one of the Airedales. Maggie was one of our first blogging friends when DaWeenies first came on board. Gosh, it's been such a long time. Duke, you are doing a great job!
