Not Only A Talented Blogger But Has A Heart of Gold!

[Lucy & AnnaBelle's Mom]

As I sat at my desk this morning reading over all of the e-mails we have received this week from so many of Sophie's friends, I was reading one from one of our very own, most popular ladies here on DK.  It was at that very moment that someone knocked (very firmly I might ad) on the front door and I about fell off my chair.  The reason for the knock is one that will change me forever.  The Fed Ex man had left a package at our door.  Inside the box was the softest, warmest, most cuddly blanket, covered in photos of our girls!  If I had chosen the photos myself, it would have been the very ones that were there.  It brought back so many beautiful memories for Mike and I as we stood there going, Oh, there is the Santa one, and the one where Wendy taught them to swim, the one with Emma our little dog trainer, the one where Sophie stole Lucy's frisbee, and on and on and on.  I'm guessing I don't have to tell you what happened then.    Anyway, I know that she doesn't do it for the recognition, but I just had to share the blanket with all of you and since many of you will already know when you see it, for those newbies on the site I just want to say to Laurie (and Fudge and Vern and DH too) that you made both of us smile (ok and cry too) today!  This is something that will truly always be treasured by all three of us.  When ever we are feeling sad we can just curl up and relive some of our wonderful memories.  From the bottom of our hearts we say thank you.  Sheri, Mike and Lucy!

It is a beautiful tribute to your Sophie and memories of your girls. And as we all well know, Laurie does it from the heart. That is why we all love her so. A true friend to doodles and their owners alike.

That's our Laurie....I was blessed enough to get one from Laurie too as I had to go into the hospital....I ended up being gone for almost two months and I was able to be wrapped in love...Laurie has a heart of gold.

That is the bestest present anyone could get!!!  Laurie, you are awesome and Sheri, you deserve this so much!!!  I know you'll be so comforted wrapping yourself and Lucy up in this blanket and drowning yourselves in memories of Sophie!!

Although I love to kid Laurie from time to time (okay, most of the time), I know that she really is one incredibly thoughtful and giving person.  Enjoy your blanket and the memories it holds!
