dogs, Sadie

A dog is the only creature on earth that loves you more than herself…so take long walks, sit-n-snuggle, ignore the puffs of fur in the corner and enjoy your pups, belles

belles are blessed…A Dog’s Purpose

A Dogs Purpose, dogs, pets

A dear belle friend of ours just lost her sweet pup, Lucy. Lucy was a beautiful black pearl of a lab…loving, gentle and vivacious. After a car accident, her zest and enthusiasm for life soared as she bounced back and adjusted quickly to living with three legs. Lucy turned her disability into a positive and became a tremendous therapy dog. Giving back to those who needed her head resting in their lap, the softness of her muzzle and letting those be calmed and comforted by petting her. Sadly, the trauma of the accident reared it’s ugly head and created hurdles too difficult for Lucy to overcome.

We all are devastated by the loss of our pets and it takes some time to recover. We read a book recently called A Dog’s Purpose by W. Bruce Cameron. This book takes us through one dog’s many lives (be prepared….lots of tears..but worth it). The premise is that every dog has a purpose in life, whether it be to care, love, share, protect, save…or all of the above. A Dog’s Purpose will both wrench and uplift your heart and you will find yourself crying and laughing out loud!

But, most importantly, you will take away with you that our beloved dogs really do have a purpose and how blessed are we to have them in our lives… even if it’s never long enough for us. We find it comforting to know that in some crazy way, our dogs chose us to fulfill their purpose.

So here’s to you, Lucy. You fulfilled your purpose and then some!

dog shaming…or not…your friday friend-1-1

dogs, funny, puppies

We both absolutely adore our furry family members! In fact, we hesitate to refer to them as dogs (gasp) because they don’t realize that they are not human! They pretty much have the run of the place, and no matter how naughty they might be at times, we can’t help but think that they are perfect! (we have been accused of loving them more than our human babies…and come to think of it, they don’t talk back or procrastinate on homework 😉 …

But…every now and then, one of them might push us a bit over the edge. Take for instance, Lily, a precious 8-month-old golden retriever baby. Lily is a counter surfer, waste basket scavenger, and treasure hunter inside and out. Leave her alone for 10 minutes, and you might have a very messy surprise on your hands!

One such surprise happened just last night. We had picked up a couple of copies of the hilarious “Dog Shaming” book…one to be given as a gift to friends.

All wrapped and ready, the book sat on the kitchen counter, waiting to be delivered today. Well, guess again!!

I ate the Dog Shaming book. Love, Lily

We see not an ounce of guilt on that face! She actually looks quite proud! Oh, well…thank goodness we can order another copy.
Amazon, take me away!
