They send their love and a woof back to Hunny:)<br /><br />Jess-thank you too! People are always surprised when we tell them Willow is 15. It's funny, but we had a basset hound once that everyone always thought was old, even when she was young. She had such funny little crooked legs!<br /><br />So glad you stopped by!Valerie Boersmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08372768206512562126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326860682126929175.post-3022839874774833242012-10-13T11:17:56.482-07:002012-10-13T11:17:56.482-07:00What a gorgeous dog Willow is!

Growing up on a farm I was surrounded by dogs, cats, pigs, skunks who thought they were cats and the like. We always got our dogs from the humane society or rescue groups and I think, after a little training, they are the best kind. They seem to have that look in their eye – the “you’ve taken me in and I’ve got your back” look - that makes them you instant best friend.

Tell them both that Hunny says "woof".<br /><br />KimberlyNiesz Vintage Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11952472758360034508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326860682126929175.post-28828206960762414062012-10-12T09:14:01.522-07:002012-10-12T09:14:01.522-07:00Buttons-your dogs were lucky too!

It is wonderful when you find the right one, and when they are still thriving at 15, it makes it even more special:)<br /><br />Jacqueline-Thank you for your dear comment!!<br /><br />Lisa-Thank you too! Your animals are all pretty darn lucky to have you guys as well:)<br /><br />Our Neck of the Woods-Bless you for adopting your dog! It is hard work, but sometimes we are the last resort for these animals. I was afraid Willow might have been put to sleep as the former owners thought she was aggressive. She wasn't, at all. She simply got excited when she greeted people and would stand on her hind legs and do a sort of wave with her front legs. It was totally cute! Willow is one of the sweetest, most gentle dogs I've ever known:)<br /><br />P.s. Thanks for following me, too:)Valerie Boersmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08372768206512562126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326860682126929175.post-24251857850565586982012-10-12T08:44:59.720-07:002012-10-12T08:44:59.720-07:00Willow is so beautiful!

Last summer we adopted a dog and had to work with her for about a year before she started to get comfortable around us. It was hard, but so rewarding :)Our Neck of the Woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00796487269192271170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326860682126929175.post-31980326012871665512012-10-12T05:15:56.419-07:002012-10-12T05:15:56.419-07:00I am so thrilled that Willow was found by your fam...I am so thrilled that Willow was found by your family.
