Here is a sunflower for Carol Ann! It’s her birthday and sunflowers are her favorite. Happy Birthday!
Carol Ann is our friend from West Virginia. She has the two Great Danes that my “boys” love so much.
First, Truman fell in love with Bella or maybe Bella fell for Truman. She used to treat him so bad in the beginning as evidenced by this photo of the two of them.

But they grew out of that silly play….or Bella grew up rather. Now she is way to big to be stepping all over the “old man”. But lucky for her Jed has come along and Bella and her brother Jam have made Jed an honorary member of their family and Jed is loving it!
Tug of war is their favorite game and Jed thinks he is as big as they are. He says, “It’s hard to be a Great Dane when your legs are this short!”
And all they while they are playing Jed really thinks that Carol Ann is his mom. He loves her better than anyone and would really like to live with them and be a country dog full-time. So what do you think Carol Ann? Maybe for your birthday?


The photo of the painting just doesn’t do it justice. It is absolutely lovely, and one of the nicest birthday presents I’ve ever received. Thank you so much!
Love, Love, Love this painting. Great birthday gift to a great friend. It looks beautiful hanging in the dining room. The selected frame just sets it off even more.
