Thank you for Caring So Much!
I'm sorry if I've worried you. It's like Debbie said over there on the zonkboard -- I've just needed some time away from "talking" -- about anything. That, coupled with the fact that my daughter has been sick and I did something to my neck, I just haven't felt at all like sitting here at the ol' puter. Emotions rise and fall with each passing minute it seems, but I have managed to have some very good days. I bought myself some presents to help brighten my spirits, and bought my daughter a nice shiny new bike. :) I'm looking for just the right stroller to buy for my grandson, who is due to be born in just 3 months! I can hardly wait!
There is also going to be another addition to my family -- a new princess, as a matter of fact. Yes, that's right, Prince Riley's Princess is going to be joining him here at our house on June 18th!!! What the heck am I talking about, you ask? LOL Well, "Lily of the Valley at Coyote Creek" ("Lily", named after the Lilies of the Valley my mother always had growing in front of her house), a GORGEOUS Australian Shepherd, will be arriving at Denver International Airport on the 18th of June, all the way from Coyote Creek Breeders in Arizona! Wanna see a picture? :)

She was born on April 20th, and is a full-pedigreed Aussie, with many champions in her lineage. My daughter and I are going to be training her to do some agility, as well as obedience and how to play a mean game of frisbee! ;) So, I will have my Prince and Princess, which should keep both my daughter and myself very busy this summer! Speaking of Mr. Riley -- he's being neutered soon, poor boy. I hope he'll forgive me. ;)
Again, I apologize for leaving you all "hanging" for so long. I honestly didn't mean to worry you, but I thank you so much for caring enough to do so! (((((((BIG HUGS))))))) Love you all!

The little puppy is cute as a bugs ear, and we all know how doggone cute that is, right? I bet you will be fit to be tied. It will be like a new baby in the house and you'll have her spoiled in no time, just like Mr. Riley... or uh... is Mr. Riley spoiled? *wink*
Look at those gorgeous blue eyes, that cute little wayward "i-know-you-want-me-to-look-at-the-camera-but-it's-time-to-pull-this-shy-look-so-you'll-think-I'm just-so cute" look. How adorable! Mr. Riley will be in dog drool heaven, won't he? *chuckle*

As for Riley...sounds like you aren't leaving him "hanging" much longer. I'm sure he'll forgive you (after he pees on your bed out of revenge).
