I think Samson and Audrey are very lucky to have an Auntie Emmie. :)Rachel Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200504088343160284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-55460096969062361792012-10-26T15:50:54.085+11:002012-10-26T15:50:54.085+11:00Will do, Robyn!

Lucky Samson, finding a wonderful home after such a tough start.<br />Our family gets our dog fix now through my sister's 3 dogs. Whenever you knock on her door, a chorus of barks erupts - and doesn't stop. <br />Edward (named after the sparkling vampire) is a teeny weeny terrier. Lacy is a totally gorgeous Shih tzu/Maltese cross. Cruiser (who I featured in a recent Babies & Billionaires book) is an ever so patient golden retreiver. The friendliest most loving group of canines eva =))<br />Emmie I loved your captions. Give little a cuddle for me!Robyn Gradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16397395873217056254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-44019729944857651892012-10-25T07:36:43.979+11:002012-10-25T07:36:43.979+11:00Emmie, what gorgeous little cats and how nice of y...Emmie, what gorgeous little cats and how nice of you to have friends' pets to share.

The dh and I have one more o/s trip in us, though, I fear, before we settle down to responsible pet parenthood. In the meantime, like you, we get our pet thrills vicariously through our friends and family members who have them instead.Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748538761711892080noreply@blogger.com
