These two dear ones share my life here at Blackberry Creek: Vann and Sophie. Vann and I will be married 13 years in November. Sophie joined us in 2002. We're a pack.
Vann tries to be the pack leader, and does a pretty good job until Sophie decides it's time for a coup d'etat. But after she gets her ride or her treat or whatever it is she's wanting at the time, she turns the reins of power back over to PopPop.
I'm not sure what my position in The Pack is. Mama, I guess. Whatever, I'm glad to be here, sharing my life with this good man and this good dog. I love them both with all my heart.

In Other News
Luciano Pavarotti died at his home in Italy today. He was 71.
Pavarotti was a favorite of my mama's. I'll bet when she heard the news, she was the first in line to meet him as he entered the Pearly Gates Although I'm no fan of opera, I do appreciate what a huge talent he had and what a wonderful contribution he made to the genre.

Never Trouble Trouble
You probably know that Leona Helmsly's dog, Trouble, inherited a bunch a million dollars from his mistress, who died recently. Well now, Leona's former housekeeper is suing Trouble, claiming that he bit her on several occasions when she was in his mistress's employ.
As if that wasn't bad enough, the son to whom Loena left not only Trouble, but a huge pot of money has said he wants nothing to do with the little Maltese. It's not clear whether or not he'll get the money if he doesn't take in Trouble. I just want to say (and I've cleared this with Sophie) that I will take Trouble, money and all. Where do I write to let my offer be known?

I think you're supposed to be the "Alpha Female," Susan...although it seems Sophie has other ideas!

Vann has a very nice face. I think perhaps male dogs bond with the female pack leaders, as do the female dogs bond with their dads. That's the way it is in our house. I am very definitely Alpha and Jim, well Jim feels like you, he isn't sure where he fits in the pecking order. And Greta is her dad's dog.

LOL! I'll take Trouble too! My goodness - how can he not want to take the dog - if nothing else to get the money! This is a crazy world. I agree with you on Pavoratti - not a fan of opera either but how could you not respect him. Love the photo of Sophie and Vann. You have a wonderful pack!

Another similarity here. Jim and I were married in November as well. November 5th. How close is that to your wedding date?
Vann does look like a very nice man - he has a very kind face.
