Ho Ho Ho………no I’m not Santa but I’m Ho Ho Hoping you showed up this morning for the next to last Teaser before the end of 2014! Your next to last chance to be a hero and be the FIRST RIGHT GUESSER (or right guesser or greenie winner).
Today I am presenting for your agony, frustration, pleasure, a GUEST TEASER – and it’s TWO photos, not one. Two shots of the same place on the planet………….and I need you to tell me what the name of this structure is AND where it’s located – GOT IT??? Alright………..here you go then!
SO, hurry up and guess…………………..and if you are the First Right Guesser, you’ll get an email from me telling you that and asking that you don’t shout it from the rooftops, make an announcement on your blog, report it to the network news for broadcast, or set off fireworks in honor of your win………….just quietly enjoy your victory until tomorrow when you can pick up your badge and tell the UNIVERSE that you were the First Right Guesser on my Teaser before Christmas!
GOOD LUCK everybody!
Now, on a sad note, I want to tell everyone that my adorable little cousin Mollye the Shih Tzu – one of my auntie Carol’s two doggies, went to the Bridge quietly in her sleep this past Saturday night. It’s how we all would like to leave this world – sleeping in innocence and peace. Mollye as I’ve told you all before was a rescue pup…….she had spent all her previous life in a puppy mill having babies – babies she’d get to have with her for a brief time before they’d be taken away and she’d become pregnant over and over and over and live in her small cage alone. It was a terrible life – one we’ve all heard about before with puppy mills. Mollye had never had any vet care but Aunt Carol did everything to get Mollye into the best health she could have in spite of having to have most of her teeth removed due to infection, never having previously been diagnosed with a heart condition and a collapsed trachea making it hard for her to breathe, nor treating the beginning of her glaucoma. She’d also never really learned how to run – even walking was difficult but Carol was patient and Mollye’s new brother, Toby the Shih Tzu, was too – taking Mollye under his wing and showing her the ropes! Mollye enjoyed freedom to be a dog……a happy dog…….running with the wind in her ears and face – chasing her brother – giving her brother wonderful tongue baths (!), and learning to totally adore her Mommy. She was GLUED to Carol…..she was so very smart and understood so many things above all else she knew she was safe forever.
Her glaucoma had gone unchecked and undiagnosed for so long and eventually she had to have one of her eyes removed………..Carol did everything she could to keep the progression of the disease from causing total blindness including help from a canine eye specialist but the excellent care and treatment was not able to STOP the glaucoma – it just slowed things down so we believe she had minimal sight – but even that didn’t slow her down! She knew her house so well – every corner and couch but especially she knew how to find her Mommy’s lap!
She just went to bed one night and when my Aunt Carol got up the next morning Mollye was still there…………………she’d hopped on a rainbow and gone to the Bridge………….where all the other angels are. Mollye was a dear and sweet girl. My Mom loved her too……a whole lot. I even forgave Mom for bringing Mollye and Toby’s smells home from her visits with them! So I also loved them…………..and all of us will remember her journey over the Bridge every Christmas from now until forever.
Ho, ho, ho, or should that be no, no, no idea!! We’re going to guess England, because it looks sort of England-y.
We’re sorry to hear about Mollye, we bet she’s having a great time over the bridge.
We wish you, Sammy, and your mom & dad a very Merry Christmas. We hope Santa Paws is good to all of you.

I’m sure you’re right that Mollye is having a good time and feeling great over the Bridge…..I can almost see her there – she can see, she can run, she can breathe in the smell of flowers and grass – all the things she had a tough time with here. Anyway, thank you so much…………and good luck with the Teaser – tomorrow is the Tell all!
MERRY CHRISTMAS

So the Teaser is BEYOND your guessing power huh? Well, tomorrow if you visit you’ll find out if anyone knows…..maybe I’ll win a badge again myself! HAHAHAHA Yes, we all agree that going to the Bridge in our sleep would be the very BEST way to go….poor little Toby, Mollye’s brother just doesn’t understand all of that – all he knows is his sister is missing. HE’s not eating or drinking and Carol will be taking him to the vet for hydration….we’re hoping he adjusts soon. Carol is doing better because at least she KNOWS what’s happened. Anyway, time does heal all wounds…….including this. Tough timing though just before Christmas.

Mum went on a cruise around the British Isles a couple of years ago, and one of the ports of call was to Anglesey (before we knew Austin).

“She’d hopped on a rainbow and gone to the Bridge” – I think Mollye has already crossed Rainbow Bridge once and felt herself in Summerlands at Auntie Carol’s home.

Thanks for your words Jan….Mollye was a love bug from the minute she was handed to my sister from the rescue group – she just melted in my sister’s arms like she KNEW she was finally home and safe. She was so full of personality once she was able to express herself and relax…..she loved playing with toys, chasing her brother Toby, and most of all loved being in my sister’s lap. Her health issues began shortly after she came to live with Carol but she had the very best of care and we think the years of abuse at the puppy mill just finally took a toll. Thank God she went to the Bridge in her sleep…..just like we all want to go one day.
