Last week the UPS man came and delivered a package. For the life of me I couldn't figure out what it could be, I didn't remember ordering anything, especially something in such a large box.
I picked it up and man...it was so light, it felt like there was nothing in it. I looked to find a return address but didn't find anything at first, then I seen it was from Florida. Still, I had no idea what it was.
As I opened it, I just got a little glimpse of something and right away I knew what it was:) It was my Angus's bandannas! Our good friend Val had asked for some of my favorite bandanna's of Angus's because she wanted to make something special for us and today we certainly received something special. She had made a pillow out of them!

There aren't enough words to say how happy this made both Mark and I. He definitely is the dog who keeps on giving:D Seems like we get little reminders of him all the time.

Anyways, I just really wanted to share this with you all and give
BIG THANKS! to the woman who did this (Val-dukedogsmom)!

That is really nice. Very beautiful and how thoughtful. I wasn't a member of PT yet when Angus was still with us, but I have seen so many threads and nice words about him, I feel like I did know him.

Oh Val... just looking at that, and seeing all of the time you put into something so special to Anna & Mark made my eyes leak.
Anna, what a wonderful thing to have, you can wrap your arms around it and give Angus a hug whenever you want to!
(if it were in my house, I'd have to make 100% sure it was out of harms way and make sure a pair of trouble making German Shepherds didn't get their teeth on it:o )
How truly lucky you and Mark are to have something so special.
