LOL nothing it was sad. I get teary eyed just thinking about her face with the little card in her mouth running to the front door everytime the wind bumped it. It tore my heart out. LE stayed home from work for 2 days to try to get over it.

I'm jealous. The only thing my dogs make for me require the use of a shovel. :(
And if I get that Mother's Day card from them one more time (you know the one "We made you a gift -it's out in the yard") I am going to scream.
To: Argh; hobbes1
Get it from the Tiger, he's in detention with you too!
