Necklace Winner Announced. And Addictive Dog Pictured.

October 4, 2012

The winner of the beautiful Special Edition necklace is . . . .
 

KRISTA!

Here is her comment.

My mom was diagnosed with Breast Cancer while I was in my early 20′s. I remember thinking she was going to die. But, she decided to have a double mastectomy and thank the Lord, they got it all and she didn’t need any radiation or chemotherapy. It is almost 15 years later and she is still a survivor!

P.S.I must have been tired when I posted that. I also want to say that I am so thankful she is still here with us. I am so blessed to say that I have the best parents and I have no idea what I would do without them!

 

To Krista—congratulations and please send your mailing address to smithellaneous@yahoo.com

And to everyone else—THANK YOU for sharing your stories and your memories of the special woman in your lives affected by breast cancer.  I can’t tell you how inspired I have been by reading your words.

I’ll close out with a few pictures that show why our new dog, Summer, is addictive.   Once you have a 5- pound dog snuggled on your chest like a newborn, why would you ever want to get up again! 

I’m addicted to quiet time and quiet snuggles—can a 12-step Doggy Program be far behind?

Help!

    I am the same way with my little Bichon, LizziLou! We could, definitely, start our own 12 step program … but I don’t think this is something worth giving up. Ever! 😉

    Congratulations Krista! Okay, I love my big dog but I see a definite advantage to a little, snuggly one. Not possible to cradle my Greyhound, although I think she would like to try. What a sweet baby girl you are, Summer.

    Healthy addictions are hard to come by! Don’t give this one up!

    EEEEEEEEEEEEE! I’m SO excited! I opened this up at work and yelled ‘I won!’ when I saw it was me…and of course everyone looked to see what I won!

    Also…as addictions go, yours is a good one! I would just forget and keep snuggling precious Summer!
