As many of you know, I lost my beloved Lady in 2011, just before I left for France. It was hard to say goodbye to her. We had been together as best friends for nearly 16 years. When I returned, the months that followed were full of more changes: A move from Seattle back to Pie Cottage, a new and unexpected relationship begun with great hopes only to crash and burn…”tears and fears“…you know how it goes.
But, I got through it…as best I could…battered, bruised and hopefully a little wiser.
(Note to self: Never again date someone you meet on FB.)
So, after more than a year without a 4-legged friend, I was hoping that the right dog for me would come once again. I didn’t know when or where… just that I would be ready when the time was right. I wrote about this here when I told you about pie grads Annie and Michael from Chicago finding Greta for me. She’s been in training with them now for 6 weeks and…

Greta
…today I just made my travel plans to go to Chicago, meet her and bring her home to Pie Cottage!
I’m leaving Feb 1st and counting the days until then!
She is beautiful, can’t wait till I can meet her.
She looks like a wonderful friend-to-be! Congrats!
And, lots of good health and love in your life. I would like to ask a question on top layer of
pie design. How do I do or get those pretty little hearts on a two crust pie? I will appreciate you telling me. Maybe something I buy in Boston where I live. Thanks so much and again lots of health and happiness in your life. Susan
Hi Susan- I cut them out with little cookie cutters and then appliqué them on with a bit of water on the backside. Easy!
What a beauty! Many long, happy years to you both!
