In Memoriam--Morgan "Stinky Wink"

One of the major reasons I decided to begin this blog is the memory of my beloved Morgan "Stinky Wink." He was born in May 2000. We lost him February 9, 2012 after a short but serious illness. Here he is with me, and granddaughter, Caley, doing one of his favorite things: helping me garden. He was a devoted companion and friend for almost twelve years. He rarely let me out of his sight, insisting upon being wherever I happened to be. In the past two years I was in the hospital twice, for almost a week each time. When I came home, he was nearly beside himself with joy, and stuck to me like glue.

Stinky Wink was a Pembroke Welsh Corgi. I have long loved that breed, and cannot imagine sharing my life with any other breed. I will be writing more about him, especially about dealing with his loss.

On a happy note, we are welcoming two new babies into our home in a few short weeks--two Pembroke puppies, Huey and Taffy, who will share our lives and our love. They will have large paw-prints to filll, but I'm sure they will do their very best, and we will love them immensely.

You will never be forgotten, Stinky Wink, my "besses puppo."
