FATHERS DAY

Happy Father's Day Matt!  

He's a dad, he's a granddad (Poppy), he's a dog dad, and he's helped me for 23 years being a dog foster dad.   

Some of them have adored him-- like Starlight.  

He took the dogs and the Bits on wagon rides.  I began fostering when my first grandchild was born.  So, it's easy to remember when it was.  

Matt was a very good sport.   I mean... 100s of Pekes (and a few wanna-be Pekes) have come through our home.

We cleaned a lot of storm doors since it was a very good place to guard our home.  We replaced carpets, we bathed and groomed and cared for sick Pekes.   We bought lots of Peke things and food and beds and toys.    

Matt liked some dogs more than others.   We've had some who created a lot of chaos here.  LOL  Right now, we have a great group.  

He went to a lot of PVPC picnics with me.  He met a lot of Peke loving people.   He manned the grill at so many of our picnics. He drove me long distances for picking up Pekes, taking them to new homes, supporting me when I had to let one go.   He supported me because he knew I loved these dogs. ("I love my wife.  My wife loves these dogs.  Therefore, I love these dogs."}  I never planned to foster Pekes.  It kind of just happened.  And now, over 23 years later, we still have foster Pekes in our home- even though I am trying to slow down.   I AM 23 years OLDER than when I began.  Funny how that happens.   

So, for Matt, Happy Father's Day!  We love you!   Gwennie loves Matt, too!
