UGLY

Today is the day Ugly died, you might think this is about plastic surgery but it is not. Remember that old rug or warm blanket or the blankie you had as a kid with the satin edge , thats Ugly. Those times with the fire going , coffee smells in the air, sweet rolls in the kitchen , thats Ugly! The smell of cut grass, horses in the pasture, dew on the grass and an ol bathrobe thats Ugly! Well ole Yeller had nothing on Ugly an old eastern North Carolina dog who could bark with the best of them and scare that UPS guy right out of his truck. Ugly went to be with   Yeller this weekend and in passing after 20+ years brought tears to my eyes, is this not what Thanksgiving is all about a life well lived and appreciated. The Movie Doc     TIP OF THE DAY: Take time to view your world thru the eyes of a pet, bet you just smiled!

ugly was great. a mut with a broken leg rescued by the vet in 1987. she came to us after the loss of another pet. fortunately we have rascal, a 10 month old carolina ditch dog to help ease ugly's passing. found in a ditch in craven county, she is smart and ever ready just like ugly when she was younger. we love the beauty of the pure breds, but give us a mut any time. stevep
