An Anniversary from TheDom's Point of View

So while Bro went away for his weekend with GF, I went down to Belle and Bro's place for a weekend of herd tending, and also to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of the collaring of Belle.

Having left later then I would have liked on Friday (kids and school you know), I got to Belle's place early evening. After feeding the kids and getting all tucked in beds, Belle and I settled in for some TV time and Sheppard’s Pie (while yes I'm bias). It was one of the best Pies I have had (my step mom used to make them all the time). We ate and watched some TV, then we moved upstairs to enjoy bedtime cuddle time. After checking on the herd, we got settled in the guest bed room and I proceeded to present Belle with her new collar. The current one was a bit of a pain when her hair got caught in it. We spent a wonderful evening of bonding, then woke to kids bouncing around the house and a need to figure out breakfast and a plan keep the kids busy for part of the day. After getting ready we packed the herd up in the van and headed out to the movies, then over to the craft store to pick up some stuff on sale.

On the topic of craft stuff, my kids adore both Bro and Belle; but when they found out we were heading down for the weekend, their first thought was shouting, “ we get to do art with Ms Belle.” My eldest, per Belle, is a natural artist, and I am beyond tickled pink that Belle wants to help her grow.

So after some art time in the studio, we fed the kids and I picked up dinner for Belle and myself, then we settled the herd in for bed and ourselves in for some TV. The herd eventually drifted into dreamland, and Belle and I headed up for a bit of fun and more cuddle time in bed.

Got up the next morning, packed things up and ran out for breakfast; then back to Belle's place to get in the car and head out.

It has been a great year, with many ups and a few downs; but over all I would not give it up for anything.

First and foremost Bro, I love you like real brother, as I have stated many times over. I’m there no matter what.

Belle, you are the best, I cannot see myself without you in my life. Here is to a great year and life to come. I love you very much.
