Joey and Katie are fostering a rescued beagle named Beauregard. We always had a dog growing up. First a weimaraner named Heidi, then a chocolate lab named Maggie. I remember my mom’s millions of lectures about having a family dog means everyone in the family is responsible for taking the dog for a walk, cleaning up dog poop from the yard, feeding the dog, and so on and so on. I wondered how mom would respond to having Beau around. As you can see from the video, it was a great meeting. The point where we try to all cram into the car at the end of the video is maybe my favorite video moment to date.
That is an Awesome video Matt!! It looks like you all had a great day!! 🙂 It’s good to see your mom out and about 😀
Thanks Molly. It was so much fun. I’m still not convinced she should be holding that leash unsupervised. She and that dog are not the least bit shy. It’s hard to tell who’s car they would end up in. 🙂
You’re right, Matt. The last part had Tom and I crying because we were laughing so hard, especially the “holy shit” part. You guys are the greatest!!!
I’m tellin the dog to heel me!
holly shit! – what a great memory you captured – yes, i cried but they were joyful, laughing tears
Reading these stories and clips of you and your Mom are priceless!! I laugh and cry. Bringing back so many memories of my Mother. Thank you so much for sharing these stories. I look forward to all of them.
Thanks so much Patsy. Glad to know you are following along and that our stories and reflections have meaning for you! -matt
You two are great w/Kathy:)
Hi Joey,
It has been a long time since we have spoken. It’s Becky (Grow) Gross…how’s that for a name! I somehow stumbled on your blog and just wanted to let you know how touching it is. Being a caregiver is difficult. Your Mom is so blessed to have you and Matt! Take care and know I am praying for all of you!
