I had to think of my mother, who rarely wasted anything, and would have been proud of this great-granddaughter. <BR/><BR/>Darlene, you probably hit the nail on the head predicting a future doctor. <BR/><BR/>Judy, I'm not surprised you suggested a pillow. LOL <BR/><BR/>Bonnie, thanks for recognizing this was a difficult situation for Hope. She loved her Heidi and was handling it as best she could.<BR/><BR/>Yes, RK, she sees many taxidermy animals in her travels with her dad. Ewwwwwwww is right.<BR/><BR/>Loving Annie, I don't think callous would be a word for a first grader.

When we had to put my dog, Rosie, to sleep in 2006, the kids wanted me to take her to the taxidermist so we could have her posed in her usual "bowing" position and use her as a doorstop. They just didn't want her to be gone, but I could see myself being startled every time I'd round the corner and there she'd be. But a coat - now there's an idea...listen for azurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04300428777385011211noreply@blogger.com
