Good Morning and congrats on being our special DOTD!

You are absolutely beautiful...and so very smart. Alpha girl!
However, I am so sorry you have lost your two brothers, Hans and
Mozart. They are watching over you from the Bridge. I hope today
brings you lots of fun and some extra treats...maybe a game of football.

May God bless you with love and adventures with your family. It's been a
pleasure to meet you.
Love and purrs...Nonie & Star (meow)

Precious Gretchen, how beautiful you are. You certainly don't look ten years old. What a lucky girl you are to have had such a loving family since you were just a tiny pup trying to grow into her ears. You'll see Hans and Mozart again someday sweetheart. Hope you get lots of treats and hugs today. Congratulations on being DOTD.

What a beautiful girl you are Gretchen, I can see why your family chose you to come home with them (I bet Hans was gorgeous too). I'm so glad your there bringing smiles to them while your best friends are at the bridge.
I'm sure you miss them, but it sounds like your keeping busy going on walks and playing football. I'm sure you have lots of fun!

I hope there are no more surgeries for you in the future and you have many more exciting years ahead

But I am so glad that you have a family that loves you very much and are taking very good care of you. Congratulations on DOTD. I got to see you. Have a wonderful life.

I can tell Gretchen and her mates are very well taken care of. This makes my heart sing. So many people get their pets and neglect them. They should be family members if you are comitted to having a life long friend.

Blessings to you!!!
