One of my most cherished doggie friends is named Babette, so as soon as I clicked on your page I said, "This must be one special girl! How lovely you look with your halo of flowers framing that gorgeous face! You're one beautiful Bernie, Babs! And you know, I'd be honored if you'd choose my lap to sit in And don't sweat the ball thing; leave that to the Labs Congratulations on your well earned Dog of the Day cudos, sweet girl! I hope you and your wonderful family are having a happy day of celebration! Hugs and kisses to you beautiful, sweet Babette!
