Didn't you say you had a group over for dinner shortly after taking Braise & Smokey in? I would expect nothing less than 10 people around a table or even gathering to eat on the floor if necessary - with multiple conversations and laughter. <br />But who serves as MC? Is there a smoking jacket at hand? I'll be right over. Hey! Who needs snow on Halloween - especially 21 inches!<br />Thanks for sharing and providing the picture. How neat to see you are gathering a following for your blogs. Wonderful!<br />Love,<br />John & ArleenJohn D.

My mother, sister, and I had our first vacation in Provence in September. We visited Kristin and Jean-Marc while we were there and saw the puppies just before they went to their new homes. Of course we were horrified to learn of Smokey's and Braise's trauma and have been following the updates. I am so glad they are comfortable in your care. <br /><br />We visited Vaison twice during our week in Sablet. We first went to the antiques fair and the one afternoon in the old village. How lucky you are to have 6 months a year there.<br /><br />I am thinking of your Deerhound and wish her a speedy recovery.<br /><br />Margaret -- Durham, NCMDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09478355784265724246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8779885531426200622.post-90306132946249747092009-10-31T16:29:02.600+01:002009-10-31T16:29:02.600+01:00Coucou Mark et Ellen!

It is raining and cold here for Halloween so I hope the Provence sun is shining on you.<br />xoxo,<br />BrianBrian Hugglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03298990930070785632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8779885531426200622.post-68261309520753645422009-10-31T03:14:11.660+01:002009-10-31T03:14:11.660+01:00I'm another one who found you through FWAD and...I'm another one who found you through FWAD and have read all your 2009 posts. Since reading blogs (and other computer stuff) AND watching TV are major addictions, I'll put off reading 2008 until after taking in a meal.<br />From Northern Calif., near Yosemite.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07671943882294465975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8779885531426200622.post-11061900429836543562009-10-30T17:32:26.858+01:002009-10-30T17:32:26.858+01:00How good of you to look after Braise and Smokey. ...How good of you to look after Braise and Smokey. I, too, found you from FWAD. I am a fellow Michigander living in suburban Detroit with my family of humans and pets. I wish your Deerhounds well and hope all of the ailing dogs recover soon. A special pat for sweet Smokey if you please.<br /><br />KatherineKatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07906090128416570023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8779885531426200622.post-49516013447151262782009-10-30T16:24:57.969+01:002009-10-30T16:24:57.969+01:00Hi Mark and Ellen,

It's good to know they are both doing well and enjoying their vacation as well.<br /><br />I'm glad that you could help out with the doggie sitting duties and were able to meet such nice folks as the Espinasses. My husband and I met them a couple of years ago when they were in PHX. We had the chance to taste their Rouge-Bleu wines there and have been addicted ever since.<br /><br />I look forward to following your retirement adventures in Provence! Keep on blogging...<br /><br />Sandy Maberly (who divides here time between Phoenix and Tulsa)Sandy Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17227618438972316442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8779885531426200622.post-37194086434904314202009-10-30T14:10:40.444+01:002009-10-30T14:10:40.444+01:00Dear Ellen and Mark,

Braise, too, must have been in heaven in that river -- she just loves to swim.<br /><br />We are relieved to know that Nellie is doing better. Our best to you all and we can't thank you enough for your "golden" care :-)<br /><br />Amitiés from Jean-Marc and Kristi (recuperating from some sort of food misadventure, along with our kids, sister-in-law and brother-in-law. Signs here say "don't drink the water..." hmmm...) P.S.: so sorry about the potty accidents...Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05280603351712810982noreply@blogger.com
