Bentleys personality reminds me a lot of Tex. I'll never forget getting into our old white Oldsmobile that night up in pleasant view and pulling back that coat and seeing that wonderful Corgi looking back at me!! Many times through out my life my faith in God and my faith in the power of prayer has waned from time to time but all I have to do is remember how long and hard I prayed for God to please return Tex to me and I know that He heard the prayers of a 13 year old boy and now no matter how silly some of my prayers may seem He always hears them! I still miss Tex to this day! But I'm so thankful for the 8 more years I got to spend with him that I almost didn't have! God bless dogs! A truer statement has never been spoken, "dogs are mans best friend" Zackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02381484851102794156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334613666852273616.post-13856208287605160222013-02-13T14:10:54.297-08:002013-02-13T14:10:54.297-08:00LLZackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02381484851102794156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334613666852273616.post-89887965749210017472013-02-13T03:45:13.151-08:002013-02-13T03:45:13.151-08:00Tex sounds like the sweetest of fellows.

I also loved all the pictures of your pets (and you looked very pretty too!)<br /><br />We once found a dog outside during a really bad rainstorm. It was December and he was hiding under the eaves of the garage. We brought him it, fed him, gave him a bath and a place to sleep and tried to find his owners.<br /><br />Sad to say we never did. The vet said judging by the condition of his paws and his health, he had probably been wandering and eating out of garbage cans for four or five months. Poor little guy. The vet said he wouldn't have survived the winter. He was the sweetest dog and we named him "Mystery."<br /><br />We gave him to a friend who loved him to pieces. She got another dog and then he eventually died after many years. So she got another dog and that brought her back to two dogs again. Then she moved into a new home and one of the dogs ran away.<br /><br />We were all heartbroken (I used to dog-sit all her dogs for her when she went out of town) but she never found him. So eventually she decided to get one more dog to get up to her two-dog ratio, but she couldn't choose and so now she has three dogs, lol!momsthewordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14519343990735608713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334613666852273616.post-61616119723916500162013-02-12T17:20:33.599-08:002013-02-12T17:20:33.599-08:00Awwww.

She was excited about seeing him on her home visit, and I didn't have the heart to tell her he was missing. We prayed hard. The day before she came, Nuit sauntered in the door the way only a cat can, acting as if nothing had happened. Thank goodness. We've since gotten use to his traveling antics. <br /><br />By the way, I did answer your question about the fruit cake. I got so excited in answering, I forgot to thank you for your kind words. Thank you. :)Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09934973314360291318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334613666852273616.post-43678018397210683772013-02-12T13:42:47.301-08:002013-02-12T13:42:47.301-08:00Oh what a sweet story!

A similar thing happened to our friends. Their "granddog" got lost on their watch, and they were devastated. Long story short,after much driving country roads and calling and searching, they found him after a day. We were all ecstatic! <br /><br />It sounds as if your pets are well-loved. We don't have a dog, but we often keep our granddogger, Molly, and we love her. She is so sweet and loves to be glued to our side when she is here to visit.<br /><br /> Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14608230037537421761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334613666852273616.post-57817069415428723792013-02-12T12:38:14.935-08:002013-02-12T12:38:14.935-08:00I'm so glad that story had a happy ending...(w...I'm so glad that story had a happy ending...(with tears in my eyes). This past summer there was a dog lost. They searched everywhere but to no avail. Once in awhile she was spotted but so scared she ran off. A stranger from the next town over was visiting and saw her. He set out a live trap with some food and she was caught in it the next day. He didn't know who she belonged to but when he told his story at the local restaurant they immediately called the owners who were more than delighted to get her back. She was gone for three months. Every day there is an ad in our paper with a picture of a lost bird dog. Its owner came here to hunt and the dog ran off. He won't go home until the dog is found. With our extreme temperatures we are only hoping that someone has taken this pedigree dog in for the winter.
