~~ well, he's the family dog, but I'm the "mommy" & he is such like a child... sooo smart & intuitive and , well, a mama's boy ;)
We adopted him 5 plus years ago (when he was 4) .We are all in agreement that he was a gift from the Lord in a time when our family needed a diversion. He needed us, as he had come from a pretty rough place in his life and needed a respite and a family to dote on him. Like I said, God knew-- Hobbes was special and a fit for us...yep, we needed him. Sometimes in life , there come blessings in packages that we ordinarily wouldn't look for them in.... Hobbes was one of those. This is a tribute to our sweet, faithful Hobbes.
PS.. yes, he is winking... and he shows his teeth & squints when he's happy to see us as well... and for the record, his ears usually stick way up... (big ears!) LOL!
