GREETINGS FROM SOUTH AFRICA!
MAXMOM here...
Nothing is more satisfying (from a dog's point-of-view) than sleeking into a sunny corner, on a cold winter's morning, armed with an old bone to savour.
In the early morning, sunlight streams through our bedroom curtains.
Today, however, I woke to the satisfying sounds of salivation:
* the smacking of and lips and teeth;
* the hollow sounds of teeth scraping against bone;
* the soft canine moans of satisfaction and
*the mirthful laughter of my husband.
I must point out that, as far as 'bones' are concerned, I only ever give my dogs sturdy marrow-bones. In addition, they are always under supervision. Any other bone is banned - one simply cannot risk that inevitable trip to the vet.
This morning, it was an old bone - given to TOBY by 'The Boss' during his early morning tea routine. I received a cup of tea in bed and TOBY received his bone.
Oh the joy!
TOBY surely must have the longest tongue in the world: it's able to extend THROUGH the bone,right to the tip of his nose. I've never seen anything like it.
What a way to start our day!
Enjoy your Sunday!
Enjoy your Sunday!
With love

Ah, sunlight. Thanks for reminding us what that is....
Such a long tounge!
Toby's pictures made me laugh--They really are able to get to and THROUGH just about anything, aren't they?
Enjoy your day Caryl, you've certainly started it off on a good note!!
I have just finished reading your book, Caryl. Just as in 2 minutes ago. How brave of you to put it all on paper and send it out into the world. I was very touched by the story. I recently suffered the loss of my beloved cat, Bodhi (who was poisoned) and a pup named Diego who was only with us for a day from the SPCA. I didn't think that I could face reading such a book, but it was indeed inspiring - as you wished it would be.
I too have been a long time sufferer of depression. Since I was about 12 - runs in the family. Doing well now, though.
Thank you for bravely telling your story.

OMD - I would be laughing and unable to drink my tea!

Toby sure was enjoying that treat. He looks so happy with his tongue sticking through the bone.
