Well we think it is time to start looking for a playmate for Belle. She really needs a doggy friend.... it is hard to get her to play without a doggy playmate... she just doesn't "get" the whole toy thing lol. She's funny that way. She seems lonely for the company of another dog since Teddy's tragic passing. We also want to get another dog soon so that the new dog can get adjusted and we can train it the way we want it before the baby comes.

So.... we are probably going to stop by the shelter this weekend and take a look at who is there.

We have also planted Teddy's memorial tree in our back yard. it is a Royal Star magnolia. right now it kind of looks like the Charlie Brown Christmas tree.... it's just a baby tree. But the leaves are starting to come out and it will grow over time. We buried half of Teddy's ashes in the soil of the tree and the other half is kept in an urn on top of our piano.

We still miss him and hurt so badly everyday.... but we think it is time to start the search for another dog.
