I really do! A caring dad is one of the greatest things on this planet. My dad passed away in 2005 but I really do feel like he is around sometimes.
Today i saw a cardinal and knew he was around. The cardinal is a special bird to me, the first year he passed on Father's Day, Dan and i were sitting in our backyard and a cardinal flew over us and landed on the wire over our head. The beautiful bird just sat there unafraid.  Each time my Boston Terriers (2) died, a cardinal flew by. My dad liked flying and he was pretty majestic to me, so when i see a beautiful bird (my fav is a cardinal) I think of my dad.

anyway it started out as a rough day because i had to take Henry to the vet. He scratched his eye/cornea (well Archie did playing around) last night. poor thing, i have to put this cream in his eye every 2 hrs for 48 hrs. no sleeping for us which compounds my anxiety. Henry has to wear a cone and he hates it, he doesnt know he has to keep it on, no exceptions til thurs night.hopefully he'll figure out how to navigate better with it one.

on the way home from the emergency vet, a cardinal flew by the front of our car.

The East Tennessee Bloodhound Rescue is having an auction to raise money for these regal dogs.
My Crowded Little Nest etsy shop has donated two vintage figurines of bloodhounds made by Zanesville Ohio pottery co.  and if you have something you feel may be appropriate for them to auction off as well contact them at
www.easttennesseebloodhoundrescue.com    or just visit the site to see if there is a furbaby for you or maybe you could help in some way.
