"My eyes have been opened to a world I never knew existed. Such vibrant creativity, such caring community: it literally takes my breath away. After so much loneliness and isolation it is overwhelming to me that such a world even exists.
In time I hope to be able to fill my garden of life with lovely, loving friends instead of the weeds of loneliness. Until that time lace tablecloths will come out of storage, music and lovely scents will fill the air of this home. And I shall visit the Daisy Cottage when I feel despair raise its dark, obscuring head, for I know from experience, that it is ever lurking behind that next bout of pain and weakness. Your kind and generous response has strengthened my resolve, you have helped me more than you will ever know, my new-found friend." ~ Lenna

It looks like there isn't any other place in this world that she would rather be. I bet daddy feels the same.

I have 2 doxies and I'm here to tell you...that is not spoiled. That's just giving her the attention she expects and deserves!(She's beautiful!)

Dear Kim,
Maggie looks like she is in heaven!
We have a new neighbor and they have a red long hair doxie. As always, Maggie is beautiful - no matter how she is posed.
Hugs,

I believe in this case spoiled is spelled M-A-G-G-I-E:>)
Posted by: Kathy | July 15, 2009 at 07:17 AM
I want to come back as your dog. LOL. This is just a doxie getting her just desserts (sic). As the "property" of a couple of doxies, I have been the hapless victim of Doxietude for years.
Posted by: Lenna | July 15, 2009 at 07:43 PM

I just read Lennas moving words and wrote her an e-mail. So sad to be caught in a serious disease. Great that she found hope in your pics and words. Eliane from Ireland
