Well all I can say is that the bags are gorgeous
The ladies who own them are extra special
Even though I have never met them in person(someday)
I feel a special bond with them
They are warm loving and supportive women who deserve the best in life

Wicky is finally warming to me
( she just wants my food)

View attachment 3666105 Mousse, Diane and I had a lovely evening. Mousse treated to a very nice dinner and then we stopped my my house to say hello to the dogs. Diane played tug with Harry and Mousse got proper wuzzles with both dogs.

So here we are! Diane's clutch is very chic in person and we laughed that it's weighty and could be used as an exercise tool or weapon. Mousse's sting ray is even prettier in person. The skin is so substantial and the simplicity of the shape and function is so well done. Both ladies thought the chain tote was better in person.

All in all, we agreed that what started out as liking the same brand of bags has turned into a special friendship. And I think that I can say for all three of us that we feel a great sense of gratitude for the lovely people on our BV subforum.

We had such a wonderful evening catching up on BV and life in general. I am so grateful for the friendships that have been forged due to our connections on the BV sub forum. G: thanks for the canine therapy. D: thanks for making the trip up to Sac.

Rhyn, now 10 months old. He's been at 49 pounds for a couple of months, so his weight has stabilized - but his coat is changing... You can see the 25% Norwegian Elkhound in his tail and then you can really see that 12.5% GSD in that Barbara Streisand-nose in the 2nd photo... he's barking at birds in the trees. He doesn't know what to make of birds.

I accepted some time ago that the beagles primarily tolerate me because I give them food... otherwise I am just someone who hogs the bed! Your story about Wicky and the EMTS also reminded me of when I broke my ankle a number of years ago. I was out for a walk with the beagles, DH and some friends at the time and we had to call an ambulance as I couldn't walk back to where our car was parked. When the ambulance came Moose jumped right up on the gurney with me, and all of the beagles then went with me and DH in the ambulance (and our friends went off to retrieve our car and picked up the hounds from the hospital when we arrived there)!

Hope you are starting to feel better!

Mousse, Diane and I had a lovely evening.

I just noticed I am a hot water kettle twin with you! I don't have any of the beautiful and elegant bags pictured here, so not a twin for those, but I'm glad to hear you all had a wonderful evening together. How nice you have made this BV connection and developed good friendships!

Going home
Went from no meds to
10 meds
Can't wait to get home

Do get well soon... I love your spirit!

He's gorgeous!!!!!

Thank you! Today we're taking both Rhyn and Zoey to Bubbly Paws for a bath. I expect Rhyn to be half his size when we're done - I've been getting massive amounts of puppy-shed fur out of him for the past week, hope to finish that off with a good scrubbing! Luckily he likes it, even the dryer (except he wants to eat the dryer, which is a problem keeping him from it - )

And to be fair, here is a photo of the lovely Zoey, also taken yesterday.

I have no idea if it's a male or female, but it looks darn gorgeous! When i am back home after work, hopefully it will calm down by then and will come out to me, so i can wash it and check what the ca... oh... what my DH dragged in
No idea yet what i should name it ... DH says "engine-/er"-related options would work perfectly.... Angie?...

Temporalesca means thundercloud in Italian. You could call her Lesca.

Whoops wrote that before I found out her name is Fiesta.

SS, I am so glad you are home. Are you feeling better?

I forsee this being the new Resort 2018 Bottga colour

On another note: I don't know how I ever survived without silicone muffin cups. That is all.
