I literally took these words into myself and feasted on them. Kim, these memories are absolutely brimming with sensory thrill. My parents had this same print hanging in our kitchen for more than a decade. We, too, had a beloved German Shepherd and the Childcraft books are ones I read and cherished. My sister purchased a set like the ones we had as children for my own daughter! (How I wish we'd managed to keep our own.)<br /><br />I so enjoyed this. I like what Curtis has written, too. Just lovely.Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908805179119217608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7259299861547446785.post-1840943173756149762011-09-03T09:48:26.909-07:002011-09-03T09:48:26.909-07:00Brought a tear to my eye.
