Day 616: Eighty-Eight Weeks... And A Huge Honor!

Today marks the completion of my first eighty-eight weeks in Forever Home (of my the Mom's dreams)! And if that isn't special enough, I am in complete disbelief... at the incredible Honor that I've been awarded...


This is a very special award, created by The Bumpass Hounds, and is another wonderful testament to their commitment and dedication to the Rescue Mission.

I am a HUGE fan of The Bumpass Hounds (and Kitties and their human folks!!!). The thoughtfulness behind this Award is incredible. The Hounds' dad tells it best, but in Navy talk... Bravo-Zulu means "well done", a commendation for somefing done "above and beyond"...

To even be mentioned in same way as first four recipients is... such an honor. I so don't feel deservin... and am kinda speechless, the Mom's got the leaky eyes and the Bleu... well, he spinnin and spinnin in he circles!

This Award is particularly special for my the Mom on a counta it come from the Homer J, Rescue Dog. And that is the ultimate in Rescue Reward... coming from a Happy Dog in he Forever Home. Seriously. Period. As TBH put it, award present itself as...

"something as simple as a muddy paw print on a white shirt or blouse or a big sloppy tongue kiss to one's cheek or a hug, a pat on the head or a strong stroke along the back of a neck. It's something that is instantaneously recognized when it happens."

And it's the inspiration to make it so... for so many other wonderful and deserving Goldens... and their future forever families. May we all ways live up to this honor!!!
