Husby and I are empty nesters.
It's a fairly new experience. One that we are enjoying immensely. Maybe because we get all the perks (quiet evenings) with all the blessings (grandkids over daily).
But what we didn't have was a four-footed furry.
Maybe I should explain...
For over thirty years, we raised Old English Sheepdogs. We love the breed. Smart, loyal, protective, easily trained.
And highly amusing.
When our last puppy bid us farewell and crossed the rainbow bridge two years ago, we decided our 'furry' days were over.
We were truly empty nesters.
Then, back in March, our friends got a puppy. An OES cross.
And quite suddenly I knew my own dog days weren't done.
A week later, I was the proud owner of the newest generation of Old English Sheepdog.
Her name is Pandora, but we call her Pandy. Among other things...
Ahem...
She is everything we've come to love about the breed.
And has settled into her own little corner of my heart.
Enough background...
Yesterday, Husby and I were in the family room, watching the movie 'Dragonslayer'. I was multi-tasking in that I was also working on a puzzle.
Pandy was rousting around, nose to the carpet.
A habit of hers, I must admit.
She rousted herself into Daddy's office.
Now, normally, this isn't cause for concern as usually, Daddy is in there with her.
This time, he wasn't. (See above.)
I allowed the normal amount of time necessary to wander into the room, realize that your beloved person is not there and wander out again.
That time had elapsed.
"Pandy!" I called.
She came out immediately.
But the reason for her tardiness became immediately-and painfully-apparent.
And yes, that's an Eat-More bar wrapper stuck to someone's furry face.
I've heard of wearing your guilt.
But never quite this accurately.

Libby once ate an entire box of Godiva's -- wrappers, foils, and all. Thank God she survived since chocolate can be deadly. Your little Pandy sounds like a handful, as well. Can't wait to hear more!
ReplyDeleteCan we call her the Lady of Godiva? These pups sure take over the world, don't they?!
DeleteOf course she has found her way (unerringly) into your heart. And ours.
ReplyDeleteThey just have the knack! <3
DeleteThis United States person had to look up what an Eat More bar consists of. Oh yum, dark chocolate and toffee.... Who could blame Pandy? But seriously...she's lucky. Let's hope that is the last trouble she makes...hahahaha.
ReplyDeleteOh, they are seriously good. I don't blame her at all. Well... much...
DeleteAwww! She is sweet, sweet, SWEET! And not just from the chocolate bar that is inside her . . .
ReplyDeleteShe is such a sweetheart! Now I can't remember what life was like without her!
DeleteWhat fun it must be to have a new four legged fluffy ball around. They provide companionship, love, joy and above all, entertainment. Pandy is a beautiful girl.
ReplyDeleteOh, my word, yes!!! and thank you!
DeleteShe's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, River. I totally agree! :)
