Long time, no see!  As I'm sure most of you know, we recently moved from New Mexico up to Colorado.  This, of course, explains the long absence.  Well, I'm back.  I took several photos during my leave.  I thought about trying to post all of them here and play catch up, but that's nearly 45 posts!  Nope.  Sorry.  You'll just have to live without.  If you're my friend on Facebook, you've been seeing plenty of photos.

Now I begin again.

I'm sure most of you know just how much of an animal lover Molly is.  She loves them all but, most of all, she would have a pet bear if it was safe.  I've had to have talks with her about which animals can be pets and which ones we just see at the zoo.  However, this hasn't always been true.  Before we got Benny, Molly was terrified of most animals, especially dogs.  When Molly was 2 years old, we were blessed to find a wonderful family that had just had two litters of Australian Shepherd puppies.  We went to see them and Molly fell in love (and so did the rest of us).  You see, at that time, Benny was about 4 lbs and might have come to Molly's knee.

3 years later Benny is 56 lbs and he and Molly are such wonderful friends.  It makes my heart happy when I see them together.  I truly hope we have him for many years to come!
