Thankful Thursday

It’s Thankful Thursday hosted by Brian of Brian’s Home. He wants us to post what we’re thankful for.

I think it’s a good thing to do each week. Focus on the positive things in our lives.

Make sure you link up to the Blog Hop at Brian’s Home and get the code to put on your blog. Then visit all the participants.

Today I’m thankful for the almost 13 years we had with this precious baby girl.

Angel Little Bit


She brought us such joy and she was the very best family member ever. She was well mannered and loving. She and hubby were attached at the hip. She followed him everywhere.

She got to travel all over the place with us and had many boating adventures.

With all the babies going to the bridge our thoughts have been on our precious Angel Little Bit. We were lucky to have her in our lives. I know she felt the same about us.

What are you thankful for today?

    In this morning’s blog talking about Little Bit, I can sense a sigh of loss but at the same time love. Everytime you mention about the your Little Bit, I remember my Bruno. He was a boxer but quiet and showed much love for me and the family. Thanks Sandee and continue to include us with the love of Little Bit. It helps me not to forget about Bruno.

      One of our boating buddies is an artist and she did this for us. Such a precious thing Nancy did. Made us cry. She did this some months before Little Bit went to the bridge. 🙂
