Not a title you expect to find on the blog for the kiddos but it fits. Last night their protector Balou died. Memo helped me to bury him up by Mom's little girl Teddi. All I can say is that I am very happy he got to spend some time with the kiddos. He truly loved them and protected them from everyone.. including Memo sometimes.
I remember the first time I saw him with a child. My bro had jsut moved down with his family and Evelyn was just 2 (I think) she walked in the house and fearlessly squatted down and hugged his big ol head. talk about a heart attack... I mean he could be grumpy at times and would make this horrible ARF and reach back, never biting, just scaring the beejeezus out of you... so all i could imagine was him doing the to Elfie and scaring the heck out of her... well that's not what happened. He just got a big doggie smile and let her crawl all over him. It was so cute. From then on as soon as Elfie got here he would run over to the van looking for her.

Beth, I am so sorry to hear about Balou's passing. I had no idea. I was sure I just saw him the other day. He had many extra good years because of your love and care. Rest in Peace ol' Balou dog.
