I lost my best dog and last dog around this time as well, I miss her sorely today, she was in "perfect" health the vet told me, and two days later I found her having passed ... so sudden so sad...so lonely without her...our fur friends are always so terribly missed..oh would that be true of some humans that walked this earth!

I mentioned to you in the message the other day that she was so fragile. Today we had to let her go. I thought I had to tell you because I knew you'd understand the pain, having suffered it so recently. Hope your days are brighter now and I hope the same for me as time passes. Today is just so very sad.<br /><br />Love from Diane in North CarolinaJimmiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16620266780624532300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3997422903835675090.post-29037887118725703992012-04-25T01:41:19.339-07:002012-04-25T01:41:19.339-07:00Well done you for giving such a kind and caring ho...Well done you for giving such a kind and caring home.<br /><br />I hope as time goes by your thoughts will be of the life you saved.Acornmoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14982884920388966786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3997422903835675090.post-8421648409818167582012-04-24T19:58:39.597-07:002012-04-24T19:58:39.597-07:00Dear Cousin Jeri,

Your words about him were very touching. We love your illustration of Ezra with his toys, we see he liked dolls, too. What a dear!<br /><br />In answer to your question, we have never had any problems with the corgyn hurting the fowl. We did have problems with neighbors dogs (not corgis) killing some ducks. We think you would just love a corgi, as they are very sweet, comical and smart! With four corgyn in the house I have the added benefit of sweeping up large dust pans full of soft corgi down, which I throw outside and pass on to the birds who use it for lining their nests. It is such a nice thought to have little birdies comforted by soft corgi down.<br /><br />Your cousins,<br />Diane and daughter Sarah and the Corgyn at the Corgyncombe Courant and Corg'eryDiane Shepard Johnson and Sarah E.

I am mistaken people who do not like animals, the cruelty is despicable of a human being. Sleep in peace Ezra, be a Guardian Angel for Jerri. Thank you Jeri to have saved him. The story of Ezra touched me. I love animals.
