We Miss You Mai-Li

.

One year ago today, we lost our beloved Mai-Li Louise.  She went peacefully in her sleep and had eaten well earlier that evening and was even watching TV and playing just an hour before she passed. 

Mai-Li was such as special doggie, she loved to watch TV and never missed a dog on screen.  She also adored "Maxwell" the Geico piggy - she would get up on the arm of the chair or the little table she would be lying on and almost dance with excitement and had a special bark for Maxwell.  =)

Mai-Li loved to go for walks with Bill and I but because of her breathing problems, didn't always last the full walk.  So she liked to snuggle close to my heart either in my arms, in a carrier, or even in the pouch of my overalls.

We miss you Mai-Li so much, there are so many things every day that remind me of you.  You were such a special little lady and I'm so glad that you were in our lives, if only for a short time.  Thank you for giving us so many memories and so much love; and thank you for letting us care for your babies, Mumbo and Wiggles.  We are taking really good care of them, and love them, too.

Here are a few photos of our beloved Mai-Li just to show you how adorable she was and how much she meant to us....

Rest in peace, Mai-Li, I hope you are enjoying your time as you play over the Rainbow Bridge.

Happy Birthday Elvis... Gone but Never Forgotten

Today is Elvis Presley's birthday he is 78 years old today... Happy birthday to the king of rock-n-roll. Now I don't want to hear from any of you asking me, "what I'm talking about, don't I mean he would have been 78 because he died in 1977?"  Elvis isn't dead, he's in Witness Protection somewhere, living out his retirement golfing, fishing, and singing around the campfire.  Now don't you try to tell me any different, it will just upset me and make me cry.

Anyway, in honor of The King's birthday, I wanted to play a few of my favorite songs of his for y'all.  Hope you enjoy.....


This is my favorite Elvis song, ever:




This song is just so sexy and jazzy, I really love it:





This song always gives me chills and fits my blog perfectly:





Happy birthday, Elvis... long may you reign.
