Bit of a sad night for me… above is a photo of my grand puppies Brandy and Bandit… Brandy is my oldest daughter Andreas puppy… she has had her for close to 15 years… Bandit is my youngest daughter Renees puppy… Brandy came to stay with her aunt while mom was away and unfortunately she passed away today… its been rough …. she loved her aunt Nay Nay and was always happy to have a sleep over with her cousin Bandit … so at least she was in a happy place when it happened…
Her momma rescued her … this sweet little buggar was running wild when her mommy patiently sat for hours with a piece of meat … gradually coaxing Brandy in the door of her home where she ended up living a full and most happy life …
Animals become such an important part of our lives… they are family to many of us and their loss can be so difficult…
Gammaw shall miss her so much… she was such a good little girl and a sweet little grand puppy…

I just wanted to share some photos of a piece of furniture that has been in our family forever and has been passed down from generation to generation…
It has been through a lot of dings… bangs … bruises… but it is gorgeous all the same ….
I actually need some advice …..
Look at the photos … look at the glass on the right hand side…. and dont mind the relfection those are the lace curtains I am putting up soon… in the meantime … see the glass window on the right hand side… the decorative trim is missing…. my question is this…. would you ?… see if you can find someone who can duplicate the trim…. remove it from both windows … try to make both windows look the same ie … cut the right side to match the left…. or leave as is?
Would love everyones opinion on this ….. Any input would be most welcome…
