Sad Day

Thanks to all who showed your concern about my little missing dog!
NO-she hasn't returned and we have heard nothing from the flyers we put out around the neighborhood!

I expect this is a hurtful mystery that I will just have to live with. I don't believe she's on our property or we would have found her.

I DO know the stress of the whole thing has made me ill! I awoke, after a restless night, with a giant size headache and dizziness which I have not been able to rid myself of all day! I have been taking it easy today, but still am not feeling great!

I read JOY'S ( see my blog roll) happy story of being with her grandbabies and it brought back such bittersweet memories of my own!

She mentioned having given Bella, her little granddaughter, a Curious George doll! Of course it made me think of my Dan's Curious George that I had given him and which was his very favorite companion for several years! Of course I now have Curious George among my treasured collections! He sits in my husband's den!

Some pics of Dan at almost 4 yrs. with Curious George, and Curious George now!

( My little Zach said to his mom one time, "I like to go to Ginga's house 'cause she NEVER runs out of cookies!") :)

Good times, those early Ginga days!
