Hershey is 4 years old today!! Can’t believe my little ‘She-Devil’ is already four… Mark got her for me on my birthday in 2008. It was the year that we lost Lucas and he got her for me/us to take our minds all the sadness. Having her in our lives during that low period certainly helped cos her puppy antics kept us VERY busy. I was always busy checking to make sure she wasn’t destroying anything OR busy trying to salvage the things she destroyed (like the day curtains, the legs of our dining chairs, the parquet skirting in our bedroom, etc).
I spent Sunday afternoon baking a ‘cake’ for her… it was more of a meatloaf really. (It had minced beef, minced pork, mashed potatoes, mashed pumpkins and julienned carrots.) She seemed to know (I have no idea how) that whatever I was whipping up was for her cos she was hanging out in the kitchen and looking at me with her doleful eyes. It’s been a very long time since I cooked anything for Huskee and Hershey.. I used to enjoy cooking for them and it was very therapeutic. However, work took over at some stage and then coupled with me being tied up (obsessed?) with trying for a baby, so my poor doggies took the back seat for a while. Not that they minded or blamed me, which is why I love them so much. They don’t judge me and are always so forgiving and full of unconditional love. We humans can take a page (or a few pages) out of their doggie handbook!
