Even when I'm sleeping
They're never far away
Maddie, Annabelle and Sammy
Would rather be with me than play
For each dog there's a story
But I'll tell you only two...
Let me start with Belle Belle
and her story sad but true.
Belle's owner went to prison
for acts to sick to share
and when she came to my house
Belle would hide, and shake, and stare.
Don't look at her or touch her
I told everyone who came
She a very frightened puppy
and I know just who to blame.
The other dogs took care of Belle
They made her part of their pack
and even though she hid from people
from the dogs she found the confidence she lacked.
After many months of calm
And people waiting for Annabelle
My little rescued doggy
forgot her life from hell.
Then came Sam so big and strong
He knew no boundaries
At only 18-months of age
The dog could swing from trees
His life had been a sad one
though he suffered no physical pain
Neglect had left him hungry
and with lots of weight to gain.
We need to keep him I told my husband
He needs to have our love
And then came news of my surgery
And keeping Sam fit like a glove
I'll use him to push off of
I told Chuck earnestly.
And he will make me happy
through my long recovery
Guess you could say I MILKED IT
and for sure I got a lot
One-hundred-twenty pounds of Newf
and a back with a tender spot!!
Okay, poetry isn't my claim to fame, but I had fun writing this! Thanks for all your thoughts, words and prayers. I'm doing well, just moving slow. I have two rods, two plates, numerous screws, and 39 staples. All things considered, I'm a happy camper. Love. Jan

Jan, at least now all you have to do is heal, and it takes time... I thougth of saying something smart like..... only 39 staples, but nothing is funny or if it is it hurts to laugh.
Just get well soon and so pleased to see you have the right healing power Right by your side.
lots of love x x x
Lordy, that poem made me cry!
You've still got it kid!
The dogs will keep you company and entertain you while you rest and heal.
Sweet, glad you felt good enough to make a post, I've been keeping people updated over on The Suitcase.
Take it easy
Hugs

Glad you're back, and I'm also glad you felt well enough to write some poetry! Fun stuff, Jan.
Love the poem. I understand why you rescued your poor Newfie. Since we just rescued a stray with abuse issues...I really understand.
Get well soon!
My Happy Clown!!!!!!!

As y'all might have noticed, I will do whatever it takes to [B][URL=http://www.tiffanyfree.uk.com]tiffany rings[/URL][/B] weed out the most popular and chic jewelry around, even it takes traveling to [U][B]tiffany & co[/U][/B] very warm, beautiful areas like the island of Siesta Key in Florida. In fact, I'm even staying an extra few days here [U]pandora[/U] just to make sure that I absorb as much information and style as humanly [B]tiffany sets[/B] possible (either that or I'm simply not interested in journeying back to the cold tundra that is New York City). Either way, this is the best way for me to [B]pandora[/B] report back to you all the excellent styles that are pervading the fashion scene for the [U]tiffany necklaces][/U] spring and summer of 2009!
If any of you saw the 2008 romantic comedy, Fool's [U][B]pandora[/U][/B] Gold, I'm certain you found yourself frantically Googling Kate Hudson's Palm [B][URL=http://www.tiffanyfree.uk.com]tiffany & co[/URL][/B] Tree Necklace to find out where you could get one just like it. The palm tree necklace was popular last year, and is still flying [B]pandora beads[/B] off the shelves today. There truly is something appealing about this shining sterling silver and cubic zirconia necklace with its intricate palm tree design. Of course, we're all aware that [B]tiffany jewellery[/B] the palm tree necklace that Kate wears in the movie is the real Tiffany & Co. version, which is made of diamonds, but unless you [U][B]tiffany bracelets[/U][/B] are also a multi-millionaire like Kate, you probably will also stick to the inspired [U]tiffany][/U] version.
On top of various forms of palm tree jewelry, I have [U]pandora bracelets[/U] found a bevvy of starfish, seahorse, and turquoise and coral-colored jewelry in the many boutiques and shops that Siesta [U]tiffany][/U] Key boasts. Look for two-tone starfish jewelry as a big hit this spring and summer, as well [U][B]pandora uk[/U][/B] as the Tiffany Inspired Anchor Necklaces, which is another fan-favorite. It also incorporates a [B]pandora[/B] sterling silver and cubic zirconia design that is nautical and airy for the [B]tiffany co[/B] warmer weather.
Michelle is a member of the Mademoiselle Jewelry [B]tiffany rings[/B] team - a company that was founded on the principal that jewelry is art. Mademoiselle Jewelry specializes in [U]tiffany london][/U] unique jewelry, Tiffany Inspired jewelry and sterling silver jewelry. Each piece of jewelry is hand [U][B]pandora[/U][/B] selected for quality, uniqueness, and creativity. Mademoiselle Jewelry also carries jewelry lines specifically [B]pandora jewellery[/B] designed for men and children.
