Edwina's Secretary

On Saturday my husband and I went to Fort Wayne IN to visit his family. Mugsy had invited us to meet her fur family (my husband kept saying…”explain this again, 13 dogs???” ;) We took along our 12 year old niece and her friend…both of whom are real dog fanatics. The girls found the house first…”Look at all those dogs in the back yard” they shouted.
Mugsy’s husband said he would let the dogs in gradually – as four or five bounded in and greeted us. Then some more, then some more. It was a challenge to keep track. Here’s Sox with her tennis ball, Vonny on the table, Shawna to share the sofa, George, Sophie, Tigger, and Serenity looking for head scratches. And Daisy, the half grown Great Dane (!?!) who needed both girls to make a big enough lap for her to loll. Then there was momma’s girl DeeDee and mamma’s boy Dudley.
Shawna was the favorite of the girls – and my husband who referred to her as “the redhead.” Such a lover girl!!!
I was unable to pick a favorite – too many I would have taken home in a minute (well, I’m not sure what Edwina would say about that!)
Now I must share a little gossip…. It is about Billy (the one-eyed Beagle – looks just like the beagle in the movie Cats and Dogs) and the object of his unrequited and unending love - Jazzy – the full-grown Great Dane. Poor Billy – he tried each back leg, front leg (the only parts of Jazzy he could even dream of reaching) anything. Jazzy just look at him with that look and heavy sigh that tall, gorgeous woman perfect. With a barely perceptible twitch of her leg and curl of her lip she simply ignored him and his passionate ardor.
Now I know I am missing one – the latest addition – “the blond” as my husband said. But, it was so much to absorb and lots of fun. The girls spent the drive back practicing matching dogs and names and characteristics. What an experience! Thanks Mugsy!
