Back In The Day....

I saw a friend's post on FB today that said, "I need to skype my dog". Of course, people think that is funny but it made me think of the first year that the hubs and I had lived in this house. We didn't have any human kids, just our fur-kids. It was just us, our boxers Tank and Havok, Skeeter (who was a thousand years old back then), and the three cats.

That year the hubs had a job up in Fresno and stayed out there for a while. He usually works locally (or at least somewhere where he comes home every night) so the furry kids weren't used to him being gone. I remember him calling me every night to talk about his day, and say goodnight..... to the dogs =)

I would hold up the cordless phone to Tank's ear and she would sit and listen while cocking her head from side to side. This may seem funny to you but Tank was a huuuuge daddy's girl and I think it made her feel at ease that she got to hear her dad's voice before bed. Of course, Havok wouldn't sit still long enough to listen to the phone, or he was trying to figure out how he could get the phone out of my hands and eat it.

Since then, all three dogs have passed and we miss them all (yes even Skeeter).

It's funny how just a little FB status can bring up old amazing memories. I now have a warm happy feeling and a smile on my face!
