"The Boys" & the Best Mom in the World

E and I haven't seen our dogs, Itchy and Moose, since Christmas, and it feels like ages. I've said it before, but they really are like our kids. We are "those" people. We look at their photos and sometimes watch videos of them, but nothing suffices for actually having them with us.

And this week has seemed harder than normal. While the photos and videos usually bring comfort along with a longing to see the "boys," this week they seemed to just bring a bit of heartache.

But that heartache will be remedied for at least a few days-- enter the "Best Mom in the World." After I expressed how terribly much we've been missing them, my super sweet mom decided to drive "the boys" down to our house over the weekend. The drive is not a short one for her; it can take upwards of 10 hours, especially when traveling with the pups in tow.

I know how very lucky I am to have the mom I do.

I can't tell you how very excited and happy E and I are right now! I can't wait to get on the road. Whatever your weekend holds, I hope, like mine, it will be filled with love and joy.

I don't know how you do it but I'm sending a little puppy love from my girl Irma Jean Miniver through with this comment. She's silly, old, going blind, now ignoring her commands with an obnoxious air of laissez faire & her breath isn't always the sweetest but that little terrier loves love.

Have a waggin good weekend!!!!!

Oh, Courtney!! I am in love with your Mom, but I can say it seems the apple didn't fall far from the tree! Clearly you inherited her kind, giving heart. Hope the weekend was wonderful.
