1948 - GrandMaw, GrandPaw and the Chaplain

Today would have been GrandPaw and GrandMaw, 61st wedding anniversary. They got married in St. Louis with the Chaplain GrandPaw served with during WW II in Europe. Dog Dad sure hopes that GrandPaw is thinking about all the good times the two of them had together. He knows GrandPaw thinks about her a lot. We will say that a lot of them went into making Dog Dad who he is and they did a pawsome job. Dad misses GrandMaw’s wise words and wish GrandPaw was doing better, but as Dad would say it is what it is.

The bath room is coming along. Thank dogness the loud noises are mostly gone. We were missing our doggy naps. We snuck in yesterday and took these pictures. There was a big hole (we wonder if China is down there) but it got filled up and concreted. They anticipate finishing this bathroom this weekend. Then work will start on the second bathroom.

The big hole. Howl-low anyone down there?
We wonder if Lassie does home improvement?
The hole is patched up.
We are looking forward to the virtual trip to Salzburg. Do you think that means Salty Burger? Now that would be pawtastic place to celebrate and party. We’ll bark at everyone more tomorrow.

Dog Speed,

Essex & Deacon

No matter how much time goes by, those dates stay poignant in our memories forever.

Please tell your grandpaw that he has lots of four-legged and two-legged friends he's never met who wish him well and are thinking about him on this special -- if bittersweet -- day!!

How cool that you're traveling by Greyhound. How even cooler that they agreed to make a detour and drop you off at our house!!!

(We wonder if the bus makes the same noise as our much-heard, much-barked-at UPS truck!!!)

Your pals,

Jake and Just Harry

It's a beautiful picture and a wonderful tribute to your grandparents!

You still have 1 more bathroom to see if you can reach China from there;-)

Wow, that is one big hole. I would love to explore in it.
