Hits you out of nowhere sometimes

Some of us  love out pets HARD!  I will never not love them hard and no matter how sad it is to say goodbye, I will always get another and give it a wonderful life full of love, a soft bed, husbelly rubs, cookies and so much praise!  You hear people say they just can't bear to go through the pain of losing another pet & I think how can you bear to go through life knowing the difference you could have made for another pet?!

I was shopping in Target one day, looking at the Christmas ornaments, because let's be honest, you never have enough.  (I literally have given away so many over the years)!  Just bought myself 4 new ones yesterday! HA...Hubby was like why is it that this time of year when you are supposed to be buying gifts, you're out here buying Christmas ornaments for yourself.  Well, Ok...should I take them off the tree & we'll put them in my stocking? I mean I'm ok with that.

Anyways, back to Target...they had little felted dogs!  I saw one that was missing an eye and started to pass it up & it hit me - this ornament is perfect!  It's perfect like my Georgia girl was with her one eye.  I had to say goodbye to my girl this year on June 30th.  She came to me in March 2013 at 2 years old & has been my little love ever since!  She was my angel face as I called her.  We had a terrible accident with a foster dog and she ended up losing an eye.  I was so thankful when we got to take her home from Blue Pearl, it was the only time I'd gone there and got to take one of my fluff bottoms home.  I was so thankful for them and the work they did on my girl. 

So, this perfect ornament is hanging on our tree & will proably forever be my favorite.  2023, the year my angel face became whole once again.
