A GRAND-DOG

Bye-bye Benny!  
You are invited 
to Evi's blog  over at Caught up -  to read her story about Benny. 

He was very fearful of people 

when he was adopted by our daughter Evi and her family.

On one of our visits

  we were thrilled when he warmed up to hubby - 

all because he loved the popcorn hubby was sneaking to him!

We will certainly miss him when we visit! 

The whole family,

especially the responsible caring of our grandson Josh,

gave him the best years of his life

and in return Benny taught us all more

compassion, sympathy, empathy,

love and respect for another one 

of God's beautiful creations.

We will remember him well!

So sad, Karin... It's difficult to lose a pet... When I lost my Cocker Spaniel (she lived for over 15 yrs)--it took me a long long time to get over her loss.

So sorry about Benny... But Evi and family must have given Benny a fabulous life... That is so special!!!! She will be remembered.

Hugs,
Betsy

Oh! Karin, I am so sorry about the lose of your daughter's pup. It's hard losing animals...they become family and sometimes the best of friends.

Much Love, Lisa

Oh, so sad.

I'm sorry you've lost your little bitty blessing. My daughter just adopted our first grand-puppy - a chihuahua too. Our whole family is blessed by Lil Chompy. I hate the thought of missing him.

I love animals and hate to see them go. I'm sorry for Evi's loss. I know that God has often used my little pets to teach me significant lessons.

Peter’s mother had five children from a previous marriage; with Karl she had Klaus, Peter and Renate. Klaus, Renate and Peter at their last visit So glad Renate was able to visit for a few weeks before Peter died.  Karl immigrated to Canada in 1950, settling in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Martha and the children followed later. Tragically, Peter's mother, Martha, died of cancer shortly afterwards. After spending a year in the care of his Tante Emma, he was reunited with his father, who had remarried. His step-mother Anna’s deep personal faith led the family into the community at the German Mission Baptist Church, where the entire family was baptized on November 6, 1955. Foreshadowing God’s ...

Welcome all BATW visitors !! Debbie does a wonderful job taking us to fascinating places around the world! Thank you so much! So, grab a hot chocolate, or that second cup and enjoy the visit. Here are some facts about the Province of Alberta, part of western Canada, where we've lived for 37 years! Thanks to Doris for this lovely winter scene! Didn't have my own! It's winter here now but we do get the four seasons and they are beautiful. Love this photo - thanks Evi! The days are getting longer and soon we will have spring again! The trees should have green leaves by Mother's Day! Alberta's license plates read, WILD ROSE COUNTRY. Click on the rose to read more about it! Alberta had it's centennial celebrations in September '05! We're still quite young! If a 21 year old had ten bucks to his name in 1905 he could buy 64 hectares - over 150 acres. Of course it had stipulations, but wouldn't that be fantastic nowadays. I'd even pay $1000.00, oh ...
