A Trip to See Chaucer...

Michael and I drove to Aberdeen, Mississippi today to meet Chaucer for the first time. It was so wonderful to see Wendy (our breeder) and her children, Georgia (Winston's mom), Maddie & Lucy (Winston's sisters), and our sweet Chaucer.
I was immediately attached to all seven puppies the second I walked in. I wish I could take all of them. Of course I took about a million pictures. Meet Chaucer E. Ford...

Oh, how this trip made me miss our precious Winston. To see his sisters all fat and wrinkly really reminded me of him. A year ago, you could have never convinced me that anyone could love a dog so much, but there was something about him that stole our heart immediately. We became "the crazy cat lady" before we even knew it! Although Winston's life was cut way short, I am so thankful for the time we had with him. I cannot even put into words how precious he was to us. He taught us (in addition to lots of patience) to love life and to love the bulldog breed. I cannot wait to love Chaucer that much!
