There was a package waiting for me when I got home yesterday, a nice big, heavy one, the kind that makes you smile when you jiggle it to hear what kind of noises it makes. Duncan was slow to greet me, asleep as he was across my side of the bed, dreaming of Winnie feeding him pumpkin cookies while Olive and Pip rubbed his feet. But once he heard me cutting into it he was quick to snap into action and whine and do his shaky little rump dance at my feet, somehow knowing the contents were for him.
It seemed that Val from My Boo Bear and Sue at Random Ramblings had sent us a little care package with all sorts of goodies inside, including a new bunny (we've already dubbed him Bugsy), a duck (Beaker), a crazy Zap Ball, which looks and acts like the amputated nose of a giant clown, glowing and lighting up as it makes all sorts of crazy amputee kinds of noises that have Duncan pining for it every minute of the day. They also sent a perfectly timed package of doggy bags for our walks, three big chews, a San Diego Golden Retriever Meetup group t-shirt and hat, which I assume were meant for me since they look ridiculous on Dunc, and because the fields of Colorado have been devoid of them this summer, they included a beautiful set of ceramic monarch butterflies so that I always have them nearby to guide and direct my course. It was an incredibly thoughtful and generous gift, and has already brought us hours of fun. Duncan will not let Bugsy out of his sight, but I'm afraid his Berry is feeling a little abandoned.
As I told them yesterday, when I first began writing about my walks with Duncan a year ago I had no idea I'd meet such wonderful and supportive people. I have received far more from my readers than I could've hoped and I'm grateful everyday for each and every one of them.
Thank you Sue and Val. You mean the world to me. And Duncan, too.

The perfect "care" package.
Oh my goodness. It comes from the heart Curt because I feel like we have gotton to know you through your blog and mutual love for our Goldens. You have become a huge part of our lives and you really mean a lot to us! Its nice to see the picture of the goodies! Maybe you will think of us often when you throw the ball or wear the cap or even see a monarch fluttering by. I told Sue, If I could I would come out there and adopt you and bring you back to San Diego! Thank you for just being you and hugs to Duncan :) Val Joey and Kealani
Oh Curt, you are much too kind. I'm glad our little gift brightened your day, as you have brightened mine for SO many!
