Denise, thank you so much!! I just got home from seeing my daughter play volleyball this weekend and found this waiting for me. Your kindness, friendship and thoughtfulness mean more to me than I can say.
I have put it right next to my reading chair where Sherlock and I spent a great deal of time cuddling and enjoying time together. Thank you again, @dabbe 💙🐾💙

dabbe My heart is full. Hope you had a lovely weekend watching your daughter. Ninja 🧡💜💛 12h

Sorry to everyone who‘s tagged me in posts & my buddy read groups that I haven‘t participated in for several weeks.
Happy news: My son got engaged & I‘m thrilled for them.
💔🐾💔: I had to say goodbye to my precious Sherlock. I was so devastated & I miss him everyday.
My family told me they thought I needed another dog. I told them saying goodbye hurt too much.
A close friend sent a pic of a puppy she thought would be perfect for me. cont. ⬇️

Read4life She knows I‘ve talked about wanting a lemon beagle for a long time and a litter was going to be available for adoption in days. I thanked her but explained I couldn‘t do it. But, I couldn‘t get that sweet face out of my mind. So…
💙🐾💙: Meet Cooper. My pocket lemon beagle puppy who isn‘t even 4 pounds yet.
6d
willaful I'm so sorry about your sweet dog. I hope you and your new pup will be equally happy together. And best wishes to your son! 6d

Your heart just grows more. And your pups are the luckiest ones to have had you and to now have you as their m🐾m🐾. Welcome, #cutiecoooper. 💛 Congrats to your son. 🤩 And a lot of our beloved pups are waiting to greet you, #sweetestsherlock. 🌈 5d

Many of you have seen Sherlock in my posts. He has been by my side for my entire health scare/issues journey. He‘s my snuggle buddy, calming force & so much more.
This weekend we found out he has his own issues. He needs to see a specialist (currently booking a month out! 😤) but things look bad.
It‘s been a horrible, emotional and stressful weekend. I‘m a mess. He‘s amazing as usual.
Please keep him in your thoughts. I‘d really appreciate it.

Desha Awwww sweet pup! Sending good thoughts and pets for him! 3w

@CBee when I saw your post, I immediately thought of the tagged. It‘s on my #BookSpinBingo & #readyourebooks lists for August. 🤓
But, I was reading your post while waiting for my drink in the bookstore cafe. As I turned onto the bookfloor, this was the display I saw. This is also on my TBR & #ClearMyShelves lists. A sign? 🤔
I‘m going to read one (or maybe both) of these for the August #TBRtarot prompt.
