The Shower

Could anything have made lunch at the farm more special? Yes! A sweet puppy shower for Oliver. When the ladies arrived, gifts in hand, I was genuinely surprised--and thrilled!!

This card says it so eloquently. Oliver's heart seems to be feeling safer each day.

There was a big floppy cardinal, special puppy tennis balls in red, yellow and blue, a very special big bone filled with a delicious "marrow" and lots of treats. I wish I'd gotten a shot of Oliver running over and putting his nose in the bags when I got home.

He's toted his big bone upstairs and downstairs and is thoroughly enjoying it. He's rolled his balls under the table, retrieved them and played keep away with Andrew. Oliver has consistently won.

Here's an action shot of the dog that got the cardinal.

Here's a non-action shot of one happily exhausted Oliver!
